Hey, my boys bloods came back and there’s no concern for his kidneys. His MCH is slightly low 21.1, his reticulocyte haemoglobin is slightly low 21.9 and his creatinine levels are slight high 146.0 but his vets don’t seem overly concerned by that. I have read a page that suggests if a dogs NT-proBNP is elevated above 1500 that they are at high risk of developing heart failure within 3-6 months. Obviously things aren’t guaranteed or predicted but is there enough evidence to suggest that it is likely? His NT-proBNP is 2380 but no changes to his echocardiograph. I know NT-proBNP can fluctuate but this has more than doubled since 6 months ago when he was in the 900 range so I’m just wondering if there is a high risk to heart failure in the upcoming few months or if there’s no definitive way of knowing? Just to add, he is stage B2 MMVD and has been for 2 years.
Thank you
