  • Title: Laboratory diagnosis of insulinoma in the dog: a retrospective study and a new diagnostic procedure.
    Author: Siliart B, Stambouli F.
    Journal: J Small Anim Pract; 1996 Aug; 37(8):367-70. PubMed ID: 8872936.
    Abstract:
    Simultaneous insulin and glucose measurements from a single sample are often insufficient for the laboratory diagnosis of insulinoma in the hypoglycaemic dog. Although the simple insulin (microU/litre): glucose (mmol/litre) ratio is best, when the selected threshold is set at 13.5, it is not always efficient to confirm or refute insulinoma. The fasting test consists of collecting four samples on a given day (no accurate time period is set between any two samples) from a fasting dog for simultaneous insulin and glucose measurements to detect at least one abnormal insulinaemia peak.
