Article Synopsis
- This study explored the link between hyperlipidaemia (high cholesterol levels) and other cholestasis markers in dogs suspected of having acute pancreatitis.
- A total of 74 dogs were examined, with 33 diagnosed with hypercholesterolaemia, showing higher triglyceride levels and ALP activity compared to those without.
- The results indicated a correlation between cholesterol levels and liver enzyme activity, suggesting a possible connection between cholestasis and high cholesterol in dogs with acute pancreatitis.
