VMRD, a leading veterinary diagnostics manufacturer, is pleased to announce the release of their new test , VMRD SAA for Feline. It is often more sensitive than fever or white blood cell count for detecting subclinical infections VMRD SAA for Feline is a 10-minute test that can be run in-clinic on a handheld reader, which provides For more information on VMRD point-of-care products, including the VMRD SAA test for Feline, please visit

One of the key advantages for using VMRD’s SAA test for equine and feline is the accuracy and consistency for that individual lot and test type. Assessment of serum amyloid A testing of horses and its clinical application in a specialized equine Use of a qualitative hose-side test to measure serum amyloid A in mares with experimentally induced ascending Verification of measurement of the feline serum amyloid A (SAA) concentration by human SAA turbidimetric

SAA is a biomarker to help diagnose infection in multiple species In recent years, serum amyloid A (SAA SAA consistently returned to normal as clinical signs resolved.(4) Rapid, in-clinic SAA testing enhances patient management Coupled with other routine tests, measuring feline SAA in-clinic gives veterinarians Verification of measurement of the feline serum amyloid A (SAA) concentration by human SAA turbidimetric Time-course monitoring of serum amyloid A in a cat with pancreatitis.

Test SAA at ovulation and 7-14 days later to assess risk of EED Elevated SAA at the time of ovulation Serum levels of acute phase proteins: SAA, Hp and progesterone (P4) in mares with early embryonic death Serum amyloid A concentration in healthy periparturient mares and mares with ascending placentitis. Serum amyloid A and haptoglobin concentrations are increased in plasma of mares with ascending placentitis Evaluation of the systemic acute phase response and endometrial gene expression of serum amyloid A and

could identify brewing infections earlier and allow more rapid clinical intervention.(9) SAA testing Serum amyloid A in equine health and disease. The acute phase protein serum amyloid A (SAA) as a marker of inflammation in horses. Serum amyloid A protein (SAA) in horses: objective measurement of the acute phase response. Assessment of serum amyloid A testing of horses and its clinical application in a specialized equine

As with all adjunct diagnostic tests, SAA results must be interpreted in light of other clinical factors subjecting the horse to repeated synoviocentesis.(3) The VMRD SAA test is fully validated for use with Serum and synovial fluid serum amyloid A response in equine models of synovitis and septic arthritis. Course of serum amyloid A (SAA) plasma concentrations in horses undergoing surgery for injuries penetrating Serum amyloid A isoforms in serum and synovial fluid in horses with lipopolysaccharide-induced arthritis

To build on the internal validation performed by VMRD, our Serum Amyloid A (SAA) test was independently test using whole blood. The VMRD SAA test reliably measured SAA in both whole blood and plasma, with excellent overall agreement range of dilutions, demonstrating the ability of this test to detect SAA reliably and accurately across tests.
