    Snippet: In conclusion, a strong correlation between platelet indices and presence or severity of disease in dogs with inflammatory bowel disease is not statistically supported. In spite of this, many indices show potential value as predictors of disease in patients with IBD. A larger study population is likely needed to determine true significance.

    Document: In conclusion, a strong correlation between platelet indices and presence or severity of disease in dogs with inflammatory bowel disease is not statistically supported. In spite of this, many indices show potential value as predictors of disease in patients with IBD. A larger study population is likely needed to determine true significance. Feline hepatic lipidosis (FHL) is characterized by excessive accumulation of lipid within hepatocytes, which can lead to intrahepatic cholestasis and severe hepatic dysfunction. We hypothesized that cats with FHL show an altered serum lipoprotein profile due to intensive lipolysis in adipose tissue and alterations in hepatocellular lipid metabolism. The aim of this study was to compare serum lipoprotein profiles as well as serum cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations between cats with FHL and healthy control cats.
