Interpretation of biochemistry panels from dogs and cats is a daily task in veterinary practice. Understanding the most likely causes for unexpected, or confusing results, and therefore knowing which results to trust or which to repeat is vital. This talk discusses the electrolytes measured in a standard biochemistry profile, the strengths and limitations of individual analytes and how patient physiology must be taken into consideration when interpreting data.

Learning Outcomes
1) Brief introduction into the most common methodologies utilized by biochemical analyzers to measure electrolyte concentrations. 2) Understanding the most common pre-analytical errors to affect electrolyte abnormalities in dogs and cats. 3) Reviewing the basic physiology of the most common electrolytes and how disturbances in the physiology will lead to electrolyte changes. 4) Use case examples to highlight the most pertinent electrolyte changes encountered in dogs and cats.
