What the FDA AER plate says about Elevated globulins

Signature read: 503 death-coded reports is a heavy tail count for Elevated globulins in the CVM extract. Report volume is upper-third scale: 2,235 named reports in the openFDA extract. 503 of 2,235 reports were death-coded (22.5% of named reports, not a population mortality rate). Nearest volume peer: Renal failure (±5 reports). Lead species Dog (1,565). Lead co-reported drug Maropitant Citrate (200).

Read these counts as reporting volume, not risk: per our methodology, Lead co-reported drug Maropitant Citrate appears in filings alongside this reaction; that is association, not causation. Browse the full reactions index or the about page for how PlainBreed frames FDA CVM extracts.
