† reference values in healthy dogs at the Central Laboratory, Norvegian Schoool of Veterinary Science. NA = not available.* Urine protein creatinine ratio on day 9 after surgery. Reference values are given in parenthesis. Due to poor owner compliance the dog was lost to follow up and not available for the questionnaire. P16 = Dog dead from renal failure (questionnaire/clinicopathological data) Px = Dog dead from renal failure (questionnaire/clinicopathological data; this dog was not in the histology study)
