Clinique Vétérinaire St-Hubert, blood and urine tests near Monaco
The Clinique St Hubert is equipped with various types of analyzers:
MS4Es for hematology (red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets), which is completed by a manual reading of the formula
Catalyst IDEXX for biochemistry (kidney, liver, pancreas enzymes...) with SNAP reader (rapid tests for certain infectious diseases such as Leishmaniasis, Dyrofilariosis, Lyme disease, Borreliosis, giardiosis...), electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride). Potassium is very important for animals suffering from renal failure, diabetes, as well as for older cats.
V Check Kitvia for hormones (TSH, T4, progesterone, cortisole). T4 is a value to be checked systematically in older cats with frequent hyperthiroidism; in hypothiroid dogs, it's important to confirm the disease with TSH measurement, not just T4. Measurement of basal cortisol and after ACTH stimulation or braking with weak or strong cortisone enables the diagnosis of hyperadrenocorticism, a common disease in older dogs, especially small ones, and hypoadrenocorticism (Addison's disease). This device also enables us to analyze DDimeri and fibrinogen for coagulation problems; measure PLI for pancreatitis in dogs and cats, and test for cardic disease (FTNL, FNT-PROBNP°).
