Abstract
Disclosed is a method of diagnosing renal dysfunction in a cat by removing cauxin from cat urine and detecting a protein in the cat urine sample from which cauxin has been removed. Cauxin is removed from cat urine by bringing the cat urine into contact with a lectin or with an anti-cauxin antibody that specifically binds to cauxin. Cauxin may be removed using a column filled with a carrier that is bound to the lectin or to the anti-cauxin antibody. The lectin may belectin. Detection of the cat urinary protein from which cauxin has been removed is performed with a urine test strip.
