- BUN (blood urea nitrogen)/ CREA (creatinine)
- PHOS (phosphorus)
- CA (calcium)
High levels may indicate kidney failure or dz, poor circulation to the kidneys and urinary obstruction. But it may indicate dehydration or indicate high protein diet only (usually dogs fed a raw meat diet may have a higher level). Low levels may indicate liver dz or starvation

Study Notes
Blood Chemistry Panels/Profiles
- Assess the function of internal organs, identify endocrine levels, cholesterol, electrolytes, and more
Albumin Levels
- Produced in the liver
- Deficiency in albumin levels indicates liver problems
- High levels indicate stress, Cushing's disease, diabetes, pancreatitis, or certain medications
- Low levels indicate liver disease, insulin overdose, severe bacterial infection, hypothyroidism, or Addison's disease
Total Protein Levels
- High levels may indicate kidney failure or disease, poor circulation to the kidneys, and urinary obstruction, or dehydration
- Low levels may indicate liver disease or starvation
Globulin Levels
- High levels indicate kidney disease, dietary imbalance, excess ingestion of Vit D, and severe tissue trauma
- Low levels indicate dietary imbalance, certain cancers, overdose of insulin, diabetes, eclampsia, and an overactive parathyroid gland
Calcium Levels
- High levels indicate certain forms of cancer, Addison's disease, excess intake of Vit D, and an overactive parathyroid gland
- Low levels indicate eclampsia, severe pancreatitis, dietary imbalance, intestinal absorption disorders, low intake of Vit D, Cushing's disease, and certain toxin ingestions
Phosphorus Levels
- High levels indicate dehydration, inflammation, chronic infection, and certain cancers
- Low levels indicate intestinal absorption problems, liver disease, Addison's disease, severe burns, and losses through the kidneys
Urea, Creatinine, and Other Levels
- High levels of UREA, CREA, and ALT indicate kidney and liver damage
- High levels of UREA, CREA, and AMYL indicate pancreatitis
