ABSTRACT

 

Hashemnia M, Nikousefat Z, Sayadpour M, Afshari-Safavi EA., Blood glucose in hospitalized dogs measured with human portable glucometers and by chemical analysis, Onl J Vet Res., 20(6):422-428, 2016. Blood glucose concentrations in 30 dogs were determined with 5 human portable brands and then compared with chemical spectrophotometric glucose analysis. Pearson correlations between glucometers and automated analyzer values were checked by error grid analysis showing no statistically significant differences except for one brand (P <0.015). Findings suggest that determination of glucose with human glucometers in dogs should be verified by glucose chemical tests

 

Keywords: Blood glucose, canine, portable glucometers, automated chemical analyzer.
