Thirty-one healthy pet cats had voided urine samples collected prior to, during and after a brief period of hospitalisation. Urinary corticoids were measured, both prior to and following an extraction technique, and the urinary corticoid:creatinine ratio (UCCR) was calculated. Associations between the UCCR and age, sex, breed and time of urine collection were investigated. There was no significant relationship established between age, sex and breed and the UCCR. A significant increase in the UCCR, however, did occur between the first home collected and first hospitalised urine sample, but only when comparing extracted corticoid results. A normal range for feline UCCR is established for the chemiluminescent immunoassay used in this study.
31只健康宠物猫在短期住院前、住院期间和住院后均采集了尿液样本。在采用一种提取技术前后均测量了尿皮质激素,并计算了尿皮质激素与肌酐比值(UCCR)。研究了UCCR与年龄、性别、品种及尿液采集时间之间的关联。年龄、性别、品种与UCCR之间未发现显著关系。然而,首次在家采集的尿液样本与首次住院时采集的尿液样本相比,UCCR确实显著升高,但仅在比较提取的皮质激素结果时如此。本研究中使用的化学发光免疫分析法确定了猫UCCR的正常范围。
