The diagnostic value of serum gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) activity and serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity in the detection of liver disease in the cat (n = 69) was compared. On the basis of histologic examination of the liver, cats were assigned to 8 groups: group 1--complete extrahepatic bile duct obstruction (n = 5), group 2--cholangiohepatitis-cholangitis syndrome (n = 11), group 3--hepatic lipidosis (n = 15), group 4--neoplasia, including lymphosarcoma and myeloproliferative disease (n = 9), group 5--hepatic necrosis (n = 7), group 6--cirrhosis (n = 3), group 7--portosystemic vascular anomaly (n = 4), and group 8--miscellaneous (n = 15). Cats assigned to group 8 lacked substantial histologic abnormalities of the liver. The mean value +/- SD of GGT in 20 clinically normal cats was 0.44 +/- 0.26 IU/L. The highest GGT activity in clinical patients developed in groups 1, 2, and 6. The highest ALP activity developed in groups 1 to 4. Significant correlations between GGT and ALP activities were detected only in groups 2 (P less than 0.001) and 5 (P less than 0.10). Among 54 cats with hepatic disease, only 11% had both the GGT and ALP activities within the normal ranges. Comparatively, 52% had ALP activities within the normal range, and 17% had GGT activities within the normal range.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
比较了血清γ-谷氨酰转移酶(GGT)活性和血清碱性磷酸酶(ALP)活性对猫(n = 69)肝病检测的诊断价值。根据肝脏组织学检查,将猫分为8组:第1组——完全肝外胆管阻塞(n = 5),第2组——胆管肝炎-胆管炎综合征(n = 11),第3组——肝脂肪变性(n = 15),第4组——肿瘤,包括淋巴肉瘤和骨髓增殖性疾病(n = 9),第5组——肝坏死(n = 7),第6组——肝硬化(n = 3),第7组——门体循环血管异常(n = 4),第8组——其他(n = 15)。分配到第8组的猫肝脏缺乏明显的组织学异常。20只临床正常猫的GGT平均值±标准差为0.44±0.26 IU/L。临床患者中GGT活性最高出现在第1、2和6组。ALP活性最高出现在第1至4组。仅在第2组(P < 0.001)和第5组(P < 0.10)中检测到GGT和ALP活性之间存在显著相关性。在54只患有肝病的猫中,只有11%的GGT和ALP活性均在正常范围内。相比之下,52%的猫ALP活性在正常范围内,17%的猫GGT活性在正常范围内。(摘要截断于250字)
