Estimates of biologic variation in specific feline pancreatic lipase concentrations in cats without clinical or ultrasonographic evidence of pancreatitis
ConclusionsDue to high individuality, use of a population‐based RI for Spec fPL may fail to detect clinically significant elevations in individual cats. The use of subject‐based RIs for Spec fPL may have greater sensitivity for the detection of a change in pancreatic physiology in cats; however, this would require serial assessment of apparently healthy cats.
