PRIMARY STUDY
Renal expression and urinary excretion of liver-type fatty acid-binding protein in cats with renal disease
Key Findings: In cats with renal disease, there was a strong correlation between liver-type fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP) and current renal biomarkers for chronic kidney disease in cats and could be used to predict early pathophysiological events.
