Canine IBD
 
We are currently enrolling dogs with chronic gastrointestinal inflammation into 
a research study for investigation of novel inflammatory markers to help 
diagnose infiltrative histological changes.
Eligible patients
        * Dogs with chronic enteropathies that undergo a complete diagnostic 
workup
        * Including gastrointestinal biopsies for histopathology
        * Can include antibiotic or food responsive enteropathies, or 
idiopathic IBD
        * Not breed-specific (dogs of any breed/signalment are eligible to 
enter)
Samples needed
        * 1 serum sample (at least 3 mL)
        * 1 EDTA blood sample (3 mL; as well as copies of recent CBCs, if 
available)
        * 3 fecal samples from consecutive bowel movements
        * 1 urine sample
        * GI biopsies for histopathology (or a copy of the histopathology 
report, if biopsies were obtained prior to enrollment)
We will cover the costs for
        * Full GI panel (cobalamin, folate, TLI, PLI, plus gastrin and 
C-reactive protein)
        * Fecal Alpha1-proteinase inhibitor
        * Histopathology through the GI Lab (if biopsies are sent to us)
        * All shipping costs related to sending samples to our lab
We offer this up to 3 times per patient (initial presentation and up to 2 
rechecks).
Turnaround times
        * Same as regular sample submissions to the GI Lab
        * Usually next day for cobalamin, folate, TLI, PLI, and gastrin
        * Up to 7-10 days for CRP and Alpha1-PI, depending on day of sample 
submission
        * ~3-4 days for histopathology
If you are interested in enrolling one of your patients, please contact Dr. 
Panpicha Sattasathuchana by e-mail for further details.
Please note: If you are the owner of the dog and not a veterinarian, please 
have your veterinarian contact Dr. Sattasathuchana.
