    Snippet: The SNAP fPL test has a high specificity for pancreatitis in both healthy cats and sick cats without clinical suspicion of pancreatitis. An abnormal SNAP fPL result is not always indicative of pancreatitis and should be followed by quantitative analysis. In addition, due to the lack of histopathologic examination of the pancreas, subclinical pancreatic inflammation cannot be excluded in any of the 8 cats with abnormal SNAP fPL results. Further st.....
    Document: The SNAP fPL test has a high specificity for pancreatitis in both healthy cats and sick cats without clinical suspicion of pancreatitis. An abnormal SNAP fPL result is not always indicative of pancreatitis and should be followed by quantitative analysis. In addition, due to the lack of histopathologic examination of the pancreas, subclinical pancreatic inflammation cannot be excluded in any of the 8 cats with abnormal SNAP fPL results. Further studies are needed to evaluate the specificity of this diagnostic tool in cats with clinical signs compatible with pancreatitis but no histopathologic evidence of pancreatitis.
