During her blood test before her spay, my girl Ka's liver functions were diagnosed are abnormal.
Her test results are:
ALP - 338 U/I (normal range 3-61)
BUN - 87 mg/dl (normal range 10-30)
Creatinine - 0.882 mg/dl (normal range 0.8-0.2)
Hemoglobin - 10.4 g/dl (normal range 8-15)
Potassium - 3.4 mmol/l (normal range 3.5-5.1)
SGOT (AST) - 44.7 U/I (normal range <51)
SGPT (ALT) - 163 U/I (normal range 13-75)
PCV - 40.47%
Blood smear TP - 60 PT <10 sec
She had fasted (no food/water) for 10 hours before her blood was taken, hence her kidneys had a less accurate reading, as the Creatinine test found.
The vet gave her some liver tonics and asked us to come back in a month to test her again.
Possibilities of origin: eating plants (we've quarantined all our plants) or congenital.
If Ka really has liver failure, what sort of quality of life will she have, how long will she live, and is there a cure? Is this normal in small kittens such as herself?
Please help! Thank you in advance.
