WHAT WE TRACK
49 Biomarkers. Each one explained the same way.
Furva reads blood chemistry, complete blood count, and urinalysis from dogs and cats. Each marker carries a reference range reviewed by a licensed veterinarian.
What every marker card shows
All Biomarkers includes a short label, what the test measures, and what an out of range result may mean.
Creatinine (CREA)
Kidney Filtration Marker
This test measures the amount of creatinine in the blood, which helps veterinarians assess how well the kidneys are filtering waste from the blood.
Out of Range Explanation
Elevated creatinine suggests the kidneys may not be filtering waste products efficiently. It is commonly used to help identify and monitor kidney disease, especially in older dogs and cats.

Nine body systems read from a single draw. The widest one-sample view of your pet’s internal health.

Kidney
3
CREA Creatinine​
BUN Blood Urea Nitrogen​
SDMA Symmetric Dimethylarginine​​​​​​​
​​​​​Early kidney change is the most common silent finding in cats and older dogs. SDMA shifts months before creatinine does.
Minerals
2
PHOS Phosphorus​
CA Calcium​​​​​​​​
Calcium and phosphorus track bone turnover, parathyroid function, and how well the kidneys clear waste.
Pancreas
2
AMYL Amylase​
LIPA Lipase​
​​​​​​​​
Digestive enzymes spill into the blood when the pancreas is irritated, a frequent cause of sudden belly pain.
4
ALT Alanine Aminotransferase
ALKP Alkaline Phosphatase
GGT Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase
TBIL Total Bilirubin​​​​​
​​​​Liver enzymes rise with inflammation, medication load, or bile-flow trouble, often well before appetite or energy changes.
Electrolytes
3
Na Sodium​
K Potassium​
CI Chloride​​​​
The salt balance behind hydration, heart rhythm, and nerve signaling. Sensitive to vomiting, diarrhea, and heat.
Thyroid
1
T4 Total Thyroxine ​​​​​
Total T4 flags both metabolic extremes: an overactive thyroid in older cats, an underactive one in mid-life dogs.
Proteins
3
ALB Albumin
TP Total Protein
GLOB Globulin
​​​​​
The albumin-to-globulin story separates nutrition and fluid loss from chronic immune stimulation.
Glucose
2
GLU Glucose​
FRUC Fructosamine​
​​​​​
Glucose is a single snapshot, while fructosamine averages the past few weeks, so clinic stress cannot fake a diabetes result.
Lipids
2
CHOL Cholesterol​
TRIG Triglycerides ​​​​​​
Fats in circulation, read alongside thyroid and glucose to explain weight change and pancreatic risk.
Complete Blood Count
The cell side of the picture: oxygen delivery, immune activity, and clotting, counted directly.

RBC Red Blood Cell Count
HCT Hematocrit​
HGB Hemoglobin
​​​​​​​​
Oxygen-carrying capacity, and the first read on anemia or dehydration.
White Cells
1
WBC White Blood Cell Count
​​​​​
The immune response. Counts run high with infection or inflammation and low with marrow stress.
Platelets
1
PLT Platelet Count​
​​​​​​​
Clotting ability. Low counts raise bleeding risk before any bruise shows.
Urinalysis
Kidney concentration, spilled chemistry, and sediment. These are the checks blood work alone cannot make.

USG Urine Specific Gravity​
UPC Urine Protein:Creatinine​​
​​​​​​​​
How well the kidneys concentrate urine, an early signal they give before blood work does.
