Project description
The evaluation of the renal function is essential in hyperthyroid cats. The aim of the present
project is to evaluate the renal function through several perfusion parameters obtained by the
use of quantitative contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) before and after treatment of
hyperthyroid cats and to test that pre-treatment CEUS could serve as a predictive method for
the development of renal dysfunction.
