Amphibian declines and extinctions have worsened in the last 2 decades. Partly because one of the main causes of the declines is infectious disease, veterinary professionals have increasingly become involved in amphibian research, captive husbandry, and management. Health evaluation of amphibians, free-living or captive, can benefit from employing the tools of clinical pathology, something that is commonly used in veterinary medicine of other vertebrates. The present review compiles what is known of amphibian clinical pathology emphasizing knowledge that may assist with the interpretation of laboratory results, provides diagnostic recommendations for common amphibian diseases, and includes RIs for a few amphibian species estimated based on peer-reviewed studies. We hope to encourage the incorporation of clinical pathology in amphibian practice and research, and to highlight the importance of applying veterinary medicine principles in furthering our knowledge of amphibian pathophysiology.
在过去20年里，两栖动物数量的减少和灭绝情况愈发严重。部分原因在于数量减少的主要原因之一是传染病，兽医专业人员越来越多地参与到两栖动物的研究、圈养饲养和管理中。对野生或圈养两栖动物的健康评估可受益于采用临床病理学工具，这是其他脊椎动物兽医学中常用的方法。本综述汇编了已知的两栖动物临床病理学知识，重点是可能有助于解读实验室结果的知识，提供了常见两栖动物疾病的诊断建议，并纳入了根据同行评审研究估算的一些两栖动物物种的参考区间。我们希望鼓励在两栖动物实践和研究中纳入临床病理学，并强调应用兽医学原理对于增进我们对两栖动物病理生理学认识的重要性。
