ABOUT THE WEBINAR:

Liver function tests in dogs and cats, including liver enzymes (ALT, AST, ALP), cholesterol, and bile acids, are key for evaluating liver health and diagnosing diseases. Elevated liver enzymes suggest hepatocellular damage or biliary obstruction. Abnormal cholesterol levels can indicate impaired liver function, while increased bile acids suggest hepatic insufficiency or cholestasis. Together, these tests are crucial for identifying liver diseases, enabling early intervention and management for better patient outcomes.
