Vet Clin North Am Small Anim Pract. 2021 Jan;51(1):137-153. doi: 10.1016/j.cvsm.2020.09.008.

Abstract

In this article, we review different tests that have been researched in dogs with chronic enteropathy. The usefulness of these tests either to assess etiology, to differentiate between treatment response, or to monitor treatment response is discussed. The tests are divided in those that are commercially available and those that hold promises for further development.

Keywords: Biomarker; Chronic enteropathy; Cytokine; Dogs; Inflammatory bowel disease.
