A BSC < 2 µg/dL yielded 100% sensitivity for both, with the SNAP showing higher specificity (73.1%) than the VRL (64.2%). Post-ACTH cortisol < 2 µg/dL was 100% specific by both methods, with 95.2% sensitivity using the SNAP. A 10.5% clinical discordance was observed. Passing-Bablok regression revealed proportional and constant bias, with the SNAP test tending to overestimate cortisol concentrations, but in the low cortisol range this overestimation appears minimal.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The SNAP correlated with the VRL for HA diagnosis; however, borderline post-ACTH SNAP results should be confirmed with the VRL. The SNAP-derived BSC may be more specific than the VRL for ruling out HA.</p><p><strong>Clinical relevance: </strong>The SNAP test aids HA diagnosis in urgent care.</p>","PeriodicalId":7754,"journal":{"name":"American journal of veterinary research","volume":" ","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144752065","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
