A

heartworm dz, ehrlichia, or chronic liver dz

34
Q

An increase in albumin could mean

A

dehydration

35

A

AMYL, LIPA, GLU

36
Q

Breaks down starches and glycogen in sugars

This test should be run with lipase tests

A

Amylase

37
Q

An increase in amylase could mean

A

acute or chronic pancreatitis, renal failure, peritonitis

38
Q

Assists in the breaking down of fatty acids

Should be run with amylase

A

Lipase

39
