Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Animal clinical pathology is a crucial field in veterinary medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases in animals through the analysis of blood and other body fluids. Hematology and biochemical diagnostics are two key components of animal clinical pathology that play a vital role in understanding the health status of animals.
Hematology involves the study of blood and its components, including red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), and platelets. It is an essential tool with which veterinarians can assess the overall health of an animal and diagnose conditions such as anemia, infections, and clotting disorders. Hematology is also essential for monitoring the progression of diseases and evaluating the response to treatment.
Biochemical diagnostics, on the other hand, focuses on the analysis of biochemical markers in body fluids such as blood serum or plasma. These markers provide valuable information about the function of various organs and body systems.
Understanding hematology and biochemical diagnostics is crucial in the effective diagnosis and management of animal health. These tests provide valuable insights into the physiological and pathological states of animals, enabling timely and accurate medical interventions.
We invite researchers, clinicians, and experts in the field to contribute original research articles, reviews, and case studies that focus on all areas of animal clinical pathology.
