About This Webinar
At what level does an increased ALT or ALP unequivocally indicate liver disease? When are bile acids useful and when are they not? What does a positive PLI really mean? Do the results mean the same in dogs and cats – if not, why not?

Liver and pancreatic enzymes and other diagnostic parameters used to assess the hepatobiliary system are commonly measured by veterinarians on unwell patients, prior to anaesthesia or as a general metabolic profile for geriatric animals. Yet deciding exactly what the results mean and what they confirm or rule out can be difficult. During this lecture, I will discuss my top tips for interpreting clin path results related to the liver and pancreas focusing in particular on differences between cats and dogs.

The learning outcomes for this lecture will include:
  • To understand how to interpret liver enzymes and what mild, moderate and marked increases mean

  • To appreciate when bile acids useful and when are they not

  • To learn what a positive pancreatic lipase immunoreactivity (PLI) result really means in dogs and cats

  • To understand why liver and pancreatic clinical pathology results differ in dogs vs cats
