IDEXX Cystatin B Test
A first-of-its-kind veterinary test to detect kidney injury.
With the IDEXX Cystatin B Test, IDEXX’s kidney health suite is more comprehensive than ever. Never before have veterinarians been able to detect active or acute injury to the kidneys with a kidney injury marker. Now with the IDEXX Cystatin B Test, a simple urine-based test, you can uncover renal tubular injury when clinical signs may or may not be apparent.
Can a kidney tell you if it’s injured? It can now.
If you don’t know an injury has occurred, how can you treat for it? The IDEXX Cystatin B Test helps uncover subclinical ongoing (active) injury to the kidney that may or may not affect its function.
When can your practice get its paws on the IDEXX Cystatin B Test?
In late 2023, the IDEXX Cystatin B Test will be added to a number of IDEXX Reference Laboratories panels and profiles that include urinalysis. Plus, it will be available as a standalone and add-on test.
6 examples where the IDEXX Cystatin B Test is beneficial.
- You suspect a toxin exposure and are looking to confirm active injury when functional markers may not have changed yet.
- You are monitoring treatment and recovery from an active injury event.
- You need to know if a dog with IRIS CKD Stage 1 is progressing.
- You have a patient that may be at higher risk when taking NSAIDs.
- You’re monitoring the effect on kidneys during a shock event, such as heat stroke or acute pancreatitis.
- You’re assessing the impact of a hypotensive event during anesthesia to determine whether kidney injury is ongoing.
