Update

Hey, I posted the other day about my dogs back legs. Our vet isn’t too concerned, given that he’s been like this for a year and the progression has been very slow. She manipulated his hind legs and he honestly just stood there and allowed her too, he’s not stiff in them, nothing moves that shouldn’t move. I do have another question though while I wait for a phone call from our general vet. My boy had his heart scan last Friday and the scan has shown no progression in his heart disease for the last 2 years, he’s still stable at B2 but his bloods came back yesterday and the part that concerns me is, his NT-proBNP has over doubled since 6 months ago, his markers are 2830 pmol/L and his cardiac troponin has mildly increased to 0.153 ng/mL. So his BNP markers are high enough that he’d be classed as CHF now but given there’s no change to his heart measurements we obviously know this isn’t the case, he isn’t coughing, he isn’t struggling to breathe. No signs of CHF and no measurements of CHF either so my question is, can kidney disease increase this markers? Or is there anything else that can increase them? Thank you

Kidney disease can indeed increase the levels of NT-proBNP and cardiac troponin markers in a dog with heart disease. These markers are commonly used to assess cardiac function and detect the presence of heart disease. However, it's important to note that elevated levels of these markers can also be indicative of other conditions besides heart disease.

Although the results of the cardiac scan show that the heart disease is not progressing, an increase in this number can signal an underlying problem. They will hope that it's nothing serious and that your son will be fine. [url=https://enneagram-test.io/][color=white]enneagram test[/color][/url]
