Following yesterday, this is Keika-chan.
Pancreatitis? Cataract specific lipase test of diarrhea Keika-chan on March 13, 2019
Because she has diarrhea, she is suspected of having pancreatitis.
That's why ...
Cat pancreatitis
I examined about.
First of all, here's a book
Pancreatitis
Cause: An acute pancreatitis is caused by hitting the abdomen in a traffic accident or falling.
It also occurs in infections such as hepatitis, duodenitis and infectious peritonitis.
There are many cases of elderly cats, and there may be no noticeable symptoms.
Symptoms: In acute cases such as an accident, you may die in a coma.
Dehydration and diarrhea are the main symptoms, but the symptoms are often not noticeable.
It may be accompanied by diabetes, in which case symptoms of polydipsia and polyuria appear.
When inflammation spreads to the liver, jaundice appears.
In the case of chronic pancreatitis, symptoms such as loss of appetite, weight loss, depression, and strong odorous diarrhea appear as symptoms.
Treatment: Treatment for the cause is important, but because it is difficult to determine the cause, supportive care such as fluid for physical condition management is the main focus.
Measures for infections and diabetes are also needed.
Prevention: Environmental maintenance is a precaution as it is often caused by traffic accidents and falls.
There are co-morbidities from other diseases, and it is important for routine examinations such as vaccinations, feces and urinalysis and daily health management.

Well,
Something is difficult, isn't it? . .
In humans, the cause is mostly alcohol but pancreatitis. Either acute or chronic.
Well, I should have a good stomachache.
For example, the enzymes of the pancreas dissolve the rice we ate, which is why the pancreatitis, which is why the pancreas itself melts itself,
Anyway, pancreatitis in cats is
"They have no symptoms"
is not it.
But in this book
Measured last time,
Pancreatic specific lipase
It was not listed.
there,
The site I found,
Outline of cat pancreatitis
Depending on
-Blood amylase and lipase tests: Many cats do not measure blood tests because they are not very helpful in cats. Even if it is pancreatitis, its sensitivity does not rise low, and it also rises in liver disease, kidney disease and intestinal disease, so it is not suitable marker for pancreatitis.
-Cat Pancreatic Specific Lipase (Spec fPL): This test is more reliable than normal blood lipase. In addition to pancreatic lipase, lipases in the blood include gastric lipase and hepatic lipase. Among them, it is the cat pancreas specific lipase that measures only pancreatic lipase.
Spec fPL is high → test results are highly reliable (high specificity) → pancreatitis is diagnosed
Spec fPL is low → Test results are unreliable (low sensitivity) → It is not always “Pancreatitis”
is what they said.
If you are a human, in the case of pancreatitis, blood tests will test enzymes such as amylase and lipase, but if it is a cat it will not be very helpful. . .
further,
Test kit
(Similar to the flu test, this ↑)
It seems to sell

Unexpectedly, cats have a lot of pancreatitis-
SpecfPL is a useful test but not 100%
Is that what? .

That's the kind of pancreatitis suspected, Keika-chan,
Now she can eat some meal.
Especially this
Karukan Tuna jelly from 11 years old
It seems that he liked it a lot.
It seems easy to eat because there are no lumps.
A lot of liveliness came out too!
”I climbed the stairs! !”
Look above
Look below,
get off.
get off.
Eh.
However,
Still,
Poop is still loose ,,,
(The image is self-indulgent)
Stop diarrhea (diabuster) is resumed.
If you have a normal bowel movement, I think that is roughly the same.
I'm fine like this, not pancreatitis, right?
