Biochemistry

Plasma Proteins
- Albumin
  - Synthesised by hepatocytes
  - Fluid maintenance
  - 30-50% total plasma proteins
  - Intestinal and Kidney Disease
- Globulin
  - Produced by liver and immune system
  - Gamma act as antibodies
  - Beta & Alpha transport vitamins
  - Immunity impact
- Increased TP
  - Dehydration
  - Infection
  - Immune Mediated disease
  - Infection/neoplasia
- Decreased TP
  - Renal failure
  - Parasitic infection
  - Malabsorption
  - Burns
  - Hypoalbumenia
    - Odeama
ALT Alanine aminotransfase
- Hepatocytes
- Cardiac muscle
- Pancreas
- Damage to specific areas
ALP Alkaline phosphate
- Present in many organs
- Increase common in young animals
Pancreatic Enzymes
- Lipase
  - Secreted by pancreas into duodenum
  - Increases
    - Acute pancreatites
    - Intestinal Disease
- Amylase
  - Pancreas and saliva
  - Increases
    - Chronic pancreatitis
    - Intestinal disease
Ammonia
- Excreted by liver as urea
  - Increases
    - Neuro conditions
    - Portosystemic shunt
      - Vein bypasses liver to heart
