hronic kidney disease (CKD) presents high morbidity rates in canine patients, and the complementary exams are of great relevance for diagnosis, especially urinalysis and measurement of serum creatinine in this sense. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the casuistry of urinalysis and serum creatinine measurements in a veterinary clinical laboratory and to correlate the findings of these tests with the clinical suspicion of chronic renal dysfunction in canine patients. The study consisted of a retrospective crosssectional study conducted at the Laboratory of Veterinary Clinical Pathology, Federal University of Pelotas (LPCVet-UFPEL). The variables of interest were the urinalysis and serum measurements of creatinine, the clinical suspicion of CKD and the results of the analyses performed in a period of four years. Data were evaluated through descriptive analysis using the EpiInfo program. A total of 2,157 serum creatinine and 586 urinalysis requests were observed. Of these, 1.48% (32/2,157) and 2.90% (17/586) presented clinical suspicion of CKD, respectively. Among the serum creatinine assessments, 8.48% (183/2,157) presented azotemia, whereas in urinalysis, 21.67% (127/586) presented alterations. There was a concurrent urinalysis and serum creatinine measurement in 12.37% (267/2,157) of the exams, 18.35% (49/267) had changes only in urinalysis and in 17.60% (47/267) there were changes in both results. It was possible to conclude that although the number of requests for serum creatinine evaluation was higher than the number of urinalysis requests, the latter presented a higher number of results indicatives of CKD.
