Article
Research record from BMC Vet Res, 2026-05-18. PMID 42152050.
Tests
A crystals in urine test checks a sample of your urine (pee) under a microscope to look for crystals. The test shows what the crystals are made of, how large they are, and how many are in your urine.
Tests
CSF stands for cerebrospinal fluid. IgG stands for immunoglobulin G. It is a type of antibody. Antibodies are proteins that your immune system makes to fight germs . A CSF IgG index measures the levels of IgG in your cerebrospinal fluid.
Indicators
This gene plays an inhibitory role in cell survival and proliferation.
Indicators
This gene is involved in signal transduction and regulation of transcription.
Indicators
This gene plays a role in protein degradation and cell cycle arrest.
Indicators
Cystatin-B (98 aa, ~11 kDa) is encoded by the human CSTB gene. This protein is involved in the regulation of cathepsins.
Indicators
Cystatin-C (146 aa, ~16 kDa) is encoded by the human CST3 gene. This protein is involved in the inhibition of cysteine proteinases.
Tests
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) tests check for signs of CMV in your blood, sputum, or other body fluids. CMV is a virus in the herpes family. Other types of herpes viruses include the viruses that cause chickenpox and mononucleosis (mono) .
Indicators
This gene plays a role in signal transduction, regulation of transcription and enhancement of apoptosis.
Indicators
This gene may play a role in RNA splicing and tumor suppression.
