CONTENT DESCRIPTION

The international panel of world-renowned equine internists and criticalists will use short case-based and review presentations to discuss the importance of clinical pathology testing in Equine Practice.  Recently introduced tests such as serum amyloid A, symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) and thymidine kinase will be included in the exchange.  Panelists will discuss when they select and how they interpret key clinical pathology tests in their practice.  Questions and contributions from the audience are strongly encouraged.
