Measuring enzymes specifically secreted by the pancreas assists in the diagnosis of pancreatitis. Up to 75% of cats have acute or chronic pancreatitis. The Vcheck fPL 2.0 is an in vitro diagnostic test kit for the quantitative measurement of feline pancreas-specific lipase concentration in feline serum, plasma and whole blood.

Animal: Feline

Sample Type: Serum, Plasma (EDTA) 25μl  or Whole blood 50μl

Measurement Range: 1-50 ng/ml

Testing Time: 15 minutes

Clinical Application

• Nonspecific clinical signs of pancreatitis: poor or absent appetite, lethargy, weight loss, dehydration, and diarrhea
• Feline pancreas-specific lipase test correlates very well with pancreatic inflammation
• The best overall sensitivity and specificity compared to other serum markers
• To diagnose and rule out feline pancreatitis
• Time-course monitoring of pancreatitis in cats during recovery
• To assess the secondary damage to pancreas in case of other digestive disease such as cholecystitis or enteritis, etc
