Clinical Pathology • An anorexic, vomiting dog with fasting hyperlipidemia probably has acute pancreatitis
Clinical Pathology • An anorexic, vomiting dog with fasting hyperlipidemia probably has acute pancreatitis • Most dogs with pancreatitis DO NOT have fasting hyperlipidemia
Clinical Pathology Garbage • Amylase/Lipase • Sensitivity ~ 50% • Specificity ~ 50% • TLI • Sensitivity ~ 35%
Clinical Pathology • cPLI • Sensitivity ~ 80-85%
Sig: 7 yr M Boxer X CC: Anorexia/Vomiting HPI: Started 1 week ago snap PLI = pancreatitis Dog died despite therapy: Everything normal on gross necropsy
PANCREATITIS versus CLINICALLY IMPORTANT PANCREATITIS
Diagnostics • cPLI • Sensitivity ~ 80% • Abdominal ultrasound • Sensitivity probably ranges from 40% to about 65%
Diagnostics • cPLI • Sensitivity ~ 80% • Abdominal ultrasound • Sensitivity probably ranges from 40% to about 65% because clinicians rarely repeat the ultrasound
