Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency is thought to occur rarely in cats. This assumption has been made based on the lack of a specific test for this disease in the cat. Clinical data from the 1st 20 cats with serum feline trypsin-like immunoreactivity (fTLI) concentrations < or = 8 microg/L are presented. In 17 of these 20 cats compelling evidence for a diagnosis of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) was present and in the remaining 3 supportive evidence for a diagnosis of EPI was available. The conclusion was made that serum fTLI concentration is a specific test for EPI in the cat.
外分泌性胰腺功能不全被认为在猫中很少发生。这一假设是基于猫缺乏针对该疾病的特异性检测方法而得出的。本文呈现了前20只血清猫胰蛋白酶样免疫反应性(fTLI)浓度≤8微克/升的猫的临床数据。在这20只猫中,有17只存在确诊外分泌性胰腺功能不全(EPI)的确凿证据,其余3只存在支持EPI诊断的证据。得出的结论是,血清fTLI浓度是猫EPI的特异性检测方法。
