Inflammation and oxidative stress biomarkers correlate with advanced heart failure in dogs, suggesting potential utility for monitoring disease severity.
May inform veterinary HF biomarker research; leaves open clinical utility pending prospective validation.
Our results showed that dogs with advanced HF show increases in positive acute-phase proteins and selected inflammatory cytokines such as KC-like, and decreases in antioxidant biomarkers, indicating that inflammation and oxidative stress act as collaborative partners in the pathogenesis of HF. Some of these biomarkers of inflammation and oxidative stress could have the potential to be biomarkers to monitor the severity of the disease and the effect of treatment.
