High feline trypsin-like immunoreactivity in a cat with pancreatitis and hepatic lipidosis.

摘要: A 1.5-year-old domestic shorthair cat was examined because of vomiting and icterus. Clinicopathologic abnormalities included high alanine transaminase, alkaline phosphatase, gamma-glutamyltransferase activities total bilirubin concentration. During abdominal ultrasonography, the left limb body pancreas appeared hypoechoic, a small quantity peritoneal effusion seen. The liver diffusely hyperechoic, with echogenicity similar to that spleen, indicating hepatic lipidosis. Feline trypsin-like immunoreactivity high, suggesting also had pancreatitis. treated crystalloid fluids fed protein-restricted diet via percutaneous endoscopically placed gastrostomy tube. cat's condition continued deteriorate despite medical treatment, it euthanatized. Necropsy confirmed clinical suspicion acute pancreatitis This case suggests measurement may be useful in cats suspected having
