  2. Hyperhomocysteinemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperhomocysteinemia

    A blood test can be performed to quantify total homocysteine concentration in the plasma, of which approximately 80% is generally protein-bound. Classification of hyperhomocysteinemia is defined with respect to serum concentration as follows: [citation needed] Moderate: 15–30 nmol/mL (or μmol/L) Intermediate: 30–100 nmol/mL; Severe: > 100 ...

    Feline idiopathic cystitis (FIC) is by far the most common form of FLUTD in young to middle-aged cats. It is a disease whose cause is not fully understood but is thought to be related to stress events and a cat's pre-disposition to anxiety, as well as certain lifestyle choices (e.g. a dry food diet, no access to outdoor space).

    Even after the cat is unblocked, the underlying inflammatory syndrome will continue for some days at home (particularly since the catheter itself will have irritated the urethra). Therefore, some of the clinical signs for non-obstructive FIC may still be apparent post-discharge until the inflammation subsides and cat has fully recovered (e.g ...

  5. Urine test strip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urine_test_strip

    The urine test strip test for blood is based on hemoglobin's pseudo peroxidase activity in catalysing a reaction between hydrogen peroxide and the chromogen tetramethylbenzidine in order to produce a dark blue oxidation product. [6] [13] the resultant colour can vary between green and dark blue depending on the amount of hemoglobin. [13]

  6. Homocysteine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homocysteine

    Hyperhomocysteinemia has been correlated with the occurrence of blood clots, heart attacks, and strokes, although it is unclear whether hyperhomocysteinemia is an independent risk factor for these conditions. [6] Hyperhomocysteinemia has also been associated with early-term spontaneous abortions [7] and with neural tube defects. [8]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_health

    Although cats are obligate carnivores, vegetarian and vegan cat food are preferred by owners uncomfortable with feeding animal products to their pets. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration Center for Veterinary Medicine has come out against vegetarian cat and dog food for health reasons. Cats require high levels of taurine in their diet.

  8. Feline arterial thromboembolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feline_arterial_thrombo...

    Up to 17% of cats with HCM experience arterial thromboembolism, but cats with other cardiomyopathies are also at increased risk. Cats with abnormally increased hemostasis, which can occur with hyperthyroidism, tumors, extensive inflammation, blood poisoning (sepsis), injury, or disseminated intravascular coagulation, represent another risk ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycoplasma_haemofelis

    Treatment usually includes the administration of doxycycline or enrofloxacin to quell the infection along with transfusion and administration of glucocorticoids to alleviate anemia. [5] Jensen et al. 2001's PCR assay diagnoses either or both of M. haemofelis and M. haemominutum [ 2 ] [ 7 ] [ 6 ] – this is useful because they find coinfection ...
