ABSTRACT
Uric acid (UA) is excreted as an end product of protein metabolism in many reptiles, including some chelonians. Elevated plasma UA concentrations can occur due to many physiologic and pathologic changes, and determining plasma UA concentrations is part of a complete general health assessment in this taxon. UA concentrations are typically measured using benchtop chemistry analyzers, but point-of-care (POC) UA meters have also been developed for human use. However, these POC UA meters have not been investigated for use in any reptile species. The purpose of this study was to assess agreement between UA measurements produced by a standard benchtop chemistry analyzer and a POC UA meter in free-living eastern box turtles (Terrapene carolina carolina). UA concentrations were measured with a POC meter using fresh whole blood and frozen-thawed plasma and with a standard benchtop chemistry analyzer using frozen-thawed plasma. Poor-to-moderate agreement was present between each of the three methods as evidenced by mixed models, Passing-Bablok regression, Bland-Altman plots, and Cohen's κ. Differences between methods fell outside of clinically acceptable limits, indicating that the POC UA meter should not be used in eastern box turtles.
