The latest on diagnostics to help you practice what’s possible with every patient

A blood test to measure Nt-proBNP has been available to veterinarians in Europe for several years, but it was highly inconvenient as it required a frozen sample for meaningful results. Even after samples had been carefully packaged, many had defrosted by the time they were received at the laboratory, thus invalidating the results. Sometimes varying or vague interpretive criteria compounded the difficulty in using the test.
