Current literature concerning reference values in ferrets is often based on small patient numbers, methods of blood sampling not suitable for practice, and outdated laboratory methods. Blood was collected from the\n                    <jats:bold>\n                      <jats:italic>V saphena lateralis<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:bold>\n                    of 111 clinically healthy ferrets (age 11 weeks to 9 years; 61\u00a0male, 50 female). Age, sex (male or female) and fasting status were taken into consideration. Parameters evaluated included haematological parameters (packed cell volume, haemoglobin, erythrocytes, erythrocyte indices, white blood cells, differential blood counts, platelets) (Cell\u2010Dyn3500R; microscopical differential blood count), serum parameters (alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, aspartate aminotransaminase, glutamate dehydrogenase,\n                    <jats:bold>\u03b3<\/jats:bold>\n                    \u2010glutamyltranspeptidase, lactate dehydrogenase, creatine kinase,\n                    <jats:bold>\u03b1<\/jats:bold>\n                    \u2010amylase, lipase, cholinesterase, glucose, fructosamine, total protein, cholesterol, triglycerides, serum bile acids, bilirubin, urea, creatinine), serum electrolyte levels (calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, potassium, chloride, iron) (Hitachi 911), and serum hormone concentrations (thyroxine, cortisol, oestradiol, progesterone) (Elecsys 1010). Results differing from reference ranges reported in current literature were attributed in most cases to the use of other blood sampling methods and laboratory equipment.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/vr.100628","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,8,2]],"date-time":"2012-08-02T21:10:32Z","timestamp":1343941832000},"page":"218-218","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":64,"title":["Reference ranges for laboratory parameters in ferrets"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"171","author":[{"given":"J.","family":"Hein","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinic of Small Animal Internal Medicine Centre for Clinical Veterinary Medicine Veterinary Faculty LMU Munich, Veterinaerstr. 13 Munich D\u201080539 Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"F.","family":"Spreyer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinic of Small Animal Internal Medicine Centre for Clinical Veterinary Medicine Veterinary Faculty LMU Munich, Veterinaerstr. 13 Munich D\u201080539 Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"C.","family":"Sauter\u2010Louis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinic of Small Animal Internal Medicine Centre for Clinical Veterinary Medicine Veterinary Faculty LMU Munich, Veterinaerstr. 13 Munich D\u201080539 Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"K.","family":"Hartmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinic for Ruminants Centre for Clinical Veterinary Medicine Veterinary Faculty LMU Munich, Sonnenstr. 16 Oberschlei\u00dfheim D\u201085764 Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_2","unstructured":"ASVCP Quality Assurance and Laboratory Standards Committee(2012)http:\/\/www.asvcp.org\/about\/committees\/qas.cfm"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1258\/002367780780943123"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_2","unstructured":"BoehringerMannheim(2002)Manual f\u00fcr Autoanalyzer Hitachi 911\u00ae Version 2.0"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_2","volume-title":"Statistik f\u00fcr Human\u2010 und Sozialwissenschaftler","author":"Bortz J.","year":"2005"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_2","volume-title":"Ermittlung h\u00e4matologischer Richtwerte beim Frettchen (Mustela putorius furo) durch vergleichende Untersuchungen mit dem Technicon H*1, dem Celltek MEK\u20106108G und manuellen Methoden","author":"B\u00d6ttle M.","year":"1999"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_2","article-title":"Husbandry, reproduction and veterinary care of captive ferrets","author":"Carpenter J.
