Disclosures: No disclosures to report. With the aim of characterizing urinary findings, urinalysis, urine chemistry and qualitative proteinuria results were retrospectively evaluated in 14 cats with RT-PCR positive urine for FeMV (FeMV+). FeMV+ were compared to 21 CKD and 22 healthy blood donor cats. For all of the animals the following information was available: signalment, history, physical exam, clinicopathological evaluation including CBC, serum chemistry profile, urinalysis including urine specific gravity (USG), dipstick, sediment examination, urine protein-to-creatinine ratio (UPC), fractional excretion of electrolytes, urine SDS-PAGE stained with Coomassie blue, and urine culture. Kidney histopathology and immunohistochemistry for FeMV were evaluated at necropsy (n = 3). Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics and compared using non-parametric tests (Kruskal-Wallis test). P -values <0.05 were considered significant.
