Serum Biochemistry Profile
What is serum biochemistry?
Serum biochemistry refers to the chemical analysis of serum, which is a major component of blood. The analysis can include many different tests, each of which provides information about one or more organs in the body. If a test result is abnormal, it may indicate that disease is present. Further assessment of the test results may indicate which organ system is affected, and may provide information about the nature and severity of the problem.
Serum Iron Testing for Dogs
When is serum iron testing indicated?
Serum iron tests are indicated when the results from a complete blood count (CBC) indicate that your pet is anemic (decreased red blood cell numbers and decreased hemoglobin) and that the red blood cells are microcytic (smaller than usual) and hypochromic (contain less hemoglobin than usual).
