Effect of Dietary Supplements in Reducing Probability of Death for Uremic Crises in Dogs Affected by Chronic Kidney Disease (Masked RCCT)

Table 3

Mean, median, and 25% and 75% percentile for BW and BCS, hematocrit, serum creatinine, BUN, phosphate, blood pH, bicarbonate, and UPC ratio, for group B at time of randomization (T0) and after 4–8 weeks (T1) of treatment. Differences between values at different examinations are depicted by 𝑃 value (statistically significant 𝑃<0.05).
