Abstract: Objective: gram-negative sepsis. Animals and procedure: ) was calculated for every included dog. Results: gram-negative sepsis. However, a higher cholesterol concentration was associated with longer duration of hospitalization in surviving dogs. Conclusion and clinical relevance: There were no significant correlations between cholesterol concentration and outcome, disease severity, or bacterial type in dogs with sepsis. Therefore, cholesterol does not appear to be a reliable biomarker of sepsis in dogs. Further research is warranted to understand the role of lipids in response to sepsis in dogs.
