AB - SMALL ANIMAL REVIEW NOSOCOMIAL BACTERIURIA IN THE DOG using a technique that encourages aseptic catheter Reports on catheter-related urinary tract infection placement and maintenance.. (UTI) vary from 10-30%. Low rates of nosocomial infection may relate to a short duration of ELEVATED ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE (ALP) catheterization, standardized protocols for catheter IN SCOTTISH TERRIERS placement and maintenance, and the type of urinary Hyperphosphatasaemia (elevated serum ALP activity) is catheter/urine collection system used. A closed urine a non-specific finding associated with a range of collection system, which allows urine removal from the hepatobiliary disorders, some endocrinopathies and reservoir bag without disconnecting from the catheter, bone disease in dogs. Several isoforms of ALP exist but is best practice. In veterinary medicine open urine only those from liver and bone have sufficiently long collection systems, that require the bag to be half-lives to contribute to the serum pool. Cholestasis disconnected from the collection line for replacement causes synthesis and solubilisation of membrane- are used, thereby exposing the system to the external associated ALP resulting in markedly increased serum environment and thence contamination.
