Selected haematology and serum variables for Angora goat kids and does, either affected or unaffected by swelling disease

The dataset supports a study that showed a significant association between hyperaldosteronaemia and the occurrence of "swelling disease" in Angora goats in South Africa. The dataset contains raw data on total serum protein, albumin, globulin, haemoglobin, cortisol, aldosterone, and sodium concentrations, and white blood cell counts from Angora goat kids and does, both affected and unaffected by swelling disease. Complete blood counts were performed using an XT 2000iV automated haematology analyser (Sysmex, Kobe, Japan) and serum sodium, total serum protein (TSP), and serum albumin were measured using a Vitros 350 dry slide analyser (QuidelOrtho, San Diego, USA). Serum globulin concentration was calculated by subtracting the albumin value from the TSP. Serum cortisol and aldosterone were measured using the Immulite 1000 Cortisol immunoassay (Siemens, Munich, Germany) and Liaison Aldosterone assay (DiaSorin, Saluggia, Italy), respectively.
