Does anyone know what the ALP liver enzyme is that is the one test result that is not moving much. Her ALT is 600 from 1800 and the Alp is 1300 from 1900 GGT went from 68 to 44 I am trying to understand all this and it is so confusing to me. Does anyone have a website that can explain these results and what it means? |
ALP is Alkaline Phosphatase level. Elevated levels can indicate liver or bone diseases as well as Cushing's disease. |

Joyce ALP is super sensitive. When Barney had pancreatitis, his ALP numbers were all over the place. And, three months later, his ALP is still elevated. He too is an older dog, and cushings may be implicated but the thought is that the pancreatitis may be the cause. Are they sending this blood work out to a lab? I've seen my dogs' blood work jump all over the map on in-house blood work only to have Amgen lab send it back with more consistent numbers. I'm sorry she is not yet 100% and we keep praying for you guys! Quote:

I agree i do not like in house lab work as if they do not calibrate their machines well they are not accurate |

dissapointing update:( The vet just called and her ALP lvls are shooting back up. I am so upset!! I thought that she was on the road to recovery when they went down yesterday. Her Alt stayed the same We are going ahead with an ultrasound with a specialist. my poor Daisy, I just pray it isn't cancer... What else would make her ALP lvls shoot back up they are 1600:( |
