Cat with High ALT/AST and A-amylase.

Hello! I'm so glad you reached out about your cat's elevated ALT/AST and amylase levels. While these numbers can be a bit concerning, they give us clues about how your cat's liver and pancreas might be functioning.



Elevated ALT (alanine aminotransferase) and AST (aspartate aminotransferase) levels often point to liver stress or damage. This could be due to various reasons like inflammation, infection, toxins, or even a reaction to medication. Elevated amylase, on the other hand, typically involves the pancreas and might suggest an issue like pancreatitis.



In terms of at-home care, make sure your cat has a calm environment with easy access to fresh water and high-quality, easily digestible food. Observe their behavior closely—look for signs like vomiting, lethargy, changes in appetite, or jaundice (a yellow tint to the skin or eyes).



If you notice any of these symptoms, or if your cat seems unwell, it's important to seek veterinary care promptly. These can be signs of a more serious problem that needs professional attention.



I'd recommend booking a video consult with one of our vets at Dial A Vet to discuss these lab results in more detail and plan the best course of action for your cat’s health. We're here to help you navigate this!
