Diagnosing Feline Pancreatitis
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Prevalence Pancreatitis in cats has been recognised since the late 1800s and is now diagnosed frequently. A recent study published in The Journal of Veterinary Pathology found that two thirds of cats presented for post-mortem, irrespective of the cause of death, had histological evidence of pancreatitis, including nearly half of apparently healthy cats. Chronic pancreatitis was more common than acute pancreatitis (60% versus 15.7%). [De Cock et al 2007]

متن کاملEvaluation of serum feline pancreatic lipase immunoreactivity and helical computed tomography versus conventional testing for the diagnosis of feline pancreatitis.
Serum feline trypsinogen-like immunoreactivity (fTLI) concentrations and abdominal ultrasound have facilitated the noninvasive diagnosis of pancreatitis in cats, but low sensitivities (33% and 20-35%, respectively) have been reported. A radioimmunoassay has been validated to measure feline pancreatic lipase immunoreactivity (fPLI), but the assay's sensitivity and specificity have not been estab...

Two patients who developed pancreatitis during their pregnancy are introduced and the dilemma of diagnosing this process from other causes of acute abdomen are discussed. It is suggested not t...
متن کاملUse of laparoscopy for diagnosing experimentally induced acute pancreatitis in dogs
Diagnosis of acute pancreatitis in dogs remains a significant challenge despite the development of advanced diagnostic methodologies. Visual inspection and pancreas biopsy using laparoscopy are generally considered to be procedures free of complications when conducted on healthy animals. However, the usefulness of laparoscopy for diagnosing acute pancreatitis has not been assessed. In the prese...
متن کاملNOTE Internal Medicine A Case of Feline Pancreatitis
A 14-year-old, spayed female, domestic shorthair cat was referred to us with anorexia, pyrexia, and jaundice. Total bilirubin (TBIL) and feline trypsin-like immunoreactivity (fTLI) levels were remarkably high. Based on laparoscopic biopsy of the pancreas, the cat was diagnosed as having pancreatitis. As a result of treatment with a synthetic protease inhibitor and corticosteroid, the TBIL and f...
