Description
Minsuk Kim, Minwoong Seo, Jaechun Cho, and Chul Park compare lab values in dogs with heartworm disease by severity class. Their 2026 study uses a standard society scale that splits cases into mild and advanced groups. Past work mostly set infected dogs against healthy ones.
Thirty-five dogs were split near evenly between the two groups. Advanced cases showed higher kidney and liver markers and a longer clotting start time. They also showed lower salt and mineral levels in blood. Several markers tracked class closely in rank tests, one liver marker most of all. The authors say such values can support severity checks in clinic, as an adjunct to imaging and signs.
