Abstract

The main objective of this study was to validate the accuracy of the Nova StatSensor creatinine POC meter (measurement range: 0.3 to 12 mg/dL) for quantifying the blood creatinine concentration in goats presented to Oklahoma State University Boren Veterinary Medical Hospital. A secondary objective was to compare this POC meter against a standard chemistry analyzer to triage goats into 3 clinically applicable categories: healthy, pre-renal azotemia, and postrenal azotemia. We hypothesize that the Nova StatSensor POC meter will generate blood creatinine values comparable to those obtained via the chemistry analyzer.
