C-6 Methods Performance
C.16 Expected Values
These reference ranges are provided as a guideline. The most definitive reference ranges are those established for the patient popu-
lation. Test results should be interpreted in conjunction with the patient’s clinical signs. Potassium and total protein levels determined
in plasma may differ from the ranges given below.
*Ranges cited by Meyer, et al

for dogs and cats were adjusted to reflect field data collected by Abaxis on the VetScan VS2 Chemistry Analyzer.
**
Cutoffs for Bile Acids (BA) set for 100% specificity with a sensitivity of 74% for dogs and cats. See Ettinger SJ, Feldman EC, eds. St. Louis: W.B.
Saunders Company. 2000: 1288–1290.
*** Feline reference interval is for adults only. Kittens (younger than 6 months) may have lower chloride levels.
†
Creatinine values were lowered 0.2 mg/dL from those in Meyer, et al10. The Jaffé method measures creatinine, and “quasi-creatinine” com-
pounds not measured in the enzymatic method used in the VetScan Diagnostic Profile Plus.
