Reference cholesterol values in healthy dogs were established, ranging from 122-389 mg/dl. While age, sex, breed, and diet caused minor variations, serum cholesterol is often elevated in various diseases, questioning its diagnostic utility for hypothyroidism.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Clinical Pathology
  • Canine Health

Context:

  • Establishing reference ranges for serum cholesterol in healthy dogs is crucial for accurate disease diagnosis.
  • Variations in cholesterol levels can be influenced by physiological factors.
  • Understanding normal cholesterol parameters aids in interpreting abnormal findings.

Purpose:

  • To determine the reference values for serum cholesterol in a large cohort of healthy dogs.
  • To assess the influence of age, sex, breed, and feeding on canine cholesterol levels.
  • To evaluate the diagnostic significance of serum cholesterol in canine hypothyroidism.

Summary:

  • A 95% percentile reference range of 122-389 mg/dl (3.2-10.1 mmol/l) for serum cholesterol was calculated in 591 healthy dogs.

  • Statistically significant, though minor, variations were observed based on age, sex, breed, and feeding.
  • Elevated serum cholesterol is common in various canine diseases, but its specific diagnostic value for hypothyroidism remains uncertain.

    • Impact:

    • Provides essential reference data for veterinary clinicians and researchers.
    • Highlights the limited impact of common physiological factors on cholesterol values, simplifying interpretation.
    • Suggests further investigation is needed to clarify the role of serum cholesterol in diagnosing specific conditions like hypothyroidism.
