- Abstract
- We performed this study to characterize the difference between the inflammatory and non?릋nflammatory status in diseased dogs by measuring salivary C?릖eactive protein (CRP) levels. In addition, we assessed whether a correlation exists between CRP levels in saliva and those in serum. CRP levels were measured in 32 client?릓wned dogs, which were then divided into inflammation and non?릋nflammation groups based on the serum CRP level. The salivary CRP level was higher in the inflammation group than in the non?릋nflammation group (p < 0.05). Furthermore, there was a positive correlation between the salivary and serum CRP levels (R = 0.866, p < 0.001). These data suggest that canine salivary CRP measurements can effectively and non?릋nvasively detect an inflammatory state in dogs.
