Study of the use of newer diagnostic methods and biomarkers in solving animal health disorders

The high prevalence of both animal and companion morbidity is a serious problem and requires the acquisition of newer knowledge in the pathogenesis of diseases and the dissemination and improvement of early and correct diagnosis. Early initiation of effective therapy requires rapid and professional determination of the correct diagnosis as well as prognosis using exact diagnostic methods. As part of laboratory diagnostics, it is necessary to constantly look for specific and sensitive biochemical markers that would provide the necessary information about the severity of morphological changes and dysfunction of the affected organs and would significantly help to make the diagnosis more accurate. Such shows the use of e.g. analysis of lactate, lactate dehydrogenase and its isoenzymes, blood gases, as well as acute phase proteins and individual protein fractions of blood serum. The study of their interrelationships will help to significantly expand knowledge in the pathogenesis of serious animal diseases with subsequent use in practical diagnostic activities.
