We did not feed her a fatty meal though... just normal food.[/q\\ Dr Centers is the BAT test, and the authority on how to conduct it. LS is her life study and research. Her recent research to date has initiated her change on the no fasting......

| Sorry slightly off topic... But I would love to know if there is a place where you can donate to the funding of this particualar research? This is something that I am pretty passionate about, My SO's work matches any donations we give to charity and I would love to see this DNA marker become a reality so that we can have more tools for prevention.

| It really is not a matter of agreeing or disagreeing with me. I posted the facts of what happened when i took 1 of my dogs to UT where Dr Karen Tobias is a very highly respected person by many

| I think the question was asked earlier about the procedure for handling blood draws for BAT. Here's what Dr. Centers says..... - The bile acid test is very reliable but the red blood cells MUST be separated from plasma (the clear part of blood) before they are sent to lab for analysis (centrifuged or spun to allow plasma separation from blood cells). Results can be falsely abnormal if the bile acid samples are lipemic (lots of fat IF the fat is not adequately removed by the laboratory analyzing the sample) or if hemolysis (burst red blood cells, makes the plasma red) occurs. The red color interferes with the color of the end point dye in the bile acid test. A clinician can tell if the sample is hemolyzed when they centrifuge the sample to separate the red blood cells from the plasma. If it is hemolyzed they should collect another sample. Drawing blood with a vacutainer needle into a vacutainer (suction of the tube facilitates the collection) may be too traumatic for some red blood cells augmenting hemolysis. Using a syringe and needle or syringe and butterfly needle appears to collect the best samples. After the blood is collected, the needle should be removed from the syringe and the top removed from the vacutainer so that the blood may be gently transferred to the vial. Results of the bile acid test should state if the samples were lipemic or if hemolysis occurred. In this case, the tests should be repeated here's the link for the info... http://ctca-foundation.org/reports/P...ary3July07.pdf

Second, there has to be a certain level of fasting for this test to even make sense... if you did not fast and brought your dog in at 10AM after having been fed at 8 AM in the morning... then both tests would be identical since both times they would have been fed within 2 hours of testing. There has to be some difference in variables or only one test would be necessary. | |

| In my post I've stated that this is Dr. Centers updated BAT testing protocol. Dr. Tobias uses Dr. Centers BAT Protocol. Both work hand in hand.
