Online Lecture – Assessing Renal Function – What are our choices? (Recorded September 2020)
CONTENT DESCRIPTION
Our current tools to assess loss of renal function lack sensitivity. Thus, there is considerable interest in developing novel biomarkers, both in serum and urine, for earlier detection of acute kidney injury (AKI), with serum symmetric dimethylarginine concentration the most recent commercially available test. However, it is important not to overlook simple indicators of renal function, including urine production and changes in simple urinalysis parameters (specific gravity and reagent strip [dipstick] analysis), as they continue to provide valuable information about renal function. This webinar will review the strengths and limitations of current measures of renal function, present data on equine serum SDMA concentrations, and provide a practical approach to monitoring renal function in horses.
Dr. Hal Schott earned a bachelor’s degree from Cornell in 1980 and a DVM from the Ohio State University in 1984. He worked in a private equine practice in Santa Barbara, Calif., from 1984 to 1987 and followed that with a residency and PhD program at Washington State University from 1987 to 1991. He was on the WSU faculty from 1991 to 1995 as an instructor and then an assistant professor of equine internal medicine. In 1995, he came to Michigan State University as an assistant professor and progressed to associate and then full professor. He is a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine.
His clinical interests include all types of urinary tract disease in horses, and his research focuses on fluid and electrolyte physiology, especially with prolonged endurance exercise.
