Alkaline phosphatase

upin dogs1

1 study
  1. Heart valve disease is associated with alkaline phosphatase in dogs (moderate to severe valvular regurgitation).

    “Serum alkaline phosphatase levels were significantly higher in the dogs with moderate to severe valvular regurgitation compared to the rest of the cohort.”
