  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 ...

    Following a test for blood serum thyroxine levels thyrotropin-releasing hormone can be administered to cats intravenously and after 4 hours another blood test can be taken to measure thyroxine serum levels. If the thyroxine levels have increased this indicates the cat is euthyroid but if levels remain stagnant it suggests hyperthyroidism.

  4. Rivalta test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rivalta_test

    The Rivalta's test had a high positive predictive value (86%) and a very high negative predictive value for FIP (96%) in a study in which cats that presented with effusion were investigated (prevalence of FIP 51%). [2] Positive Rivalta's test results can occur in cats with bacterial peritonitis or lymphoma.

  5. Homocysteine - Wikipedia

    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/Neonatal_isoerythrolysis

    In cats, the antibodies are already present in the mother's blood before parturition. The blood group antigens are similar in structure to the antigen of a common bacteria in the gut of cats leading to antibody formation. Kittens obtain the majority of their immune response from the colostrum, and are not born with a strong immune response.

  7. Feline idiopathic cystitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feline_idiopathic_cystitis

    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 ...

  8. Mycoplasma haemofelis - Wikipedia

    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 ...

  9. Feline hyperaldosteronism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feline_Hyperaldosteronism

    Feline hyperaldosteronism is a disease in cats. The symptoms are caused by abnormally high concentrations of the hormone aldosterone, [1] which is secreted by the adrenal gland. The high concentrations of aldosterone may be due directly to a disorder of the adrenal gland (primary hyperaldosteronism), or due to something outside of the adrenal ...
