Differences in sex, age, and breed were analyzed using Fisher"s exact test, and multiple factors such as sex were analyzed by contingency table analysis. Of the 3347 dogs that were tested for serum creatinine level, 243 dogs had creatinine over 1.4 mg/dL more than once. The overall rate of renal dysfunction in all breeds was 7.3%, but the rate for cavalier King Charles Spaniels was 14.1% (P<0.05), and for Shetland Sheepdogs it was also 14.1% (P<0.05), both significantly higher than the overall rate.
