Preview Kidney Function in Civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus): Especially Preview of Urea Nitrogen and Creatinin

Abstract

Civet is a rare, nearly to extinct animal. Urea and creatinine concentrations in serum are commonly measured as indicators of renal function in clinical settings and as indices of nutritional status in animal but this reference values for the civet are not yet established. This study aimed to assess renal function seen an picture of urea nitrogen, and creatinine at 3 healthy of Civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus). The mean values of urea nitrogen were 8.42 ± 1.54 mg /dl while creatinine were 3.16 ±1.65 mg/dl. These results contribute to the picture of kidney function in Hermaphroditus Paradoxurus species as a preliminary determination of the health status of these animals.
