Serum 25(OH)D reflects clinical characterization in dogs with chronic enteropathies.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

In canine chronic enteropathies (CE) and protein-losing enteropathy (PLE), vitamin D deficiency is recognized as a negative prognostic factor, while 25(OH)D status in relation to other clinical phenotypes has been poorly investigated.

Methods

This study aimed to describe differences in CE dogs according to their response to treatment and to reveal potential associations with retrospective clinical and diagnostic data.

Results

A total of 91 dogs were obtained from clinical records and categorized based on their response to treatment into the following groups: food-responsive enteropathy (FRE, n = 39), microbiota-related modulation-responsive enteropathies (MrMRE, n = 26), immunosuppressant-responsive enteropathy (IRE, n = 16), and PLE
