ABSTRACT
This combined retrospective-prospective study evaluated the correlation between canine urine color (UC) and urine specific gravity (USG). Urine color was positively correlated with USG, but the relationship was not significantly improved by use of a UC chart. Urine color as an indicator of USG is limited as 20% of dark-yellow samples had a USG < 1.030.
Corrélation entre la couleur de l'urine et la gravité spécifique à l'urine chez les chiens la couleur de l'urine peut-elle servir à identifier l'urine concentrée? Cette étude combinée rétrospective-prospective a évalué la corrélation entre la couleur de l'urine canine (UC) et la gravité spécifique à l'urine (USG). On a établi une corrélation positive d'UC avec USG, mais la relation n'a pas été significativement améliorée par l'utilisation d'un tableau d'UC. L'UC à titre d'indicateur d'USG est limité car 20 % des prélèvements jaune foncé présentaient un USG < 1,030.(Traduit par Isabelle Vallières).
