 Routine hamatology and biochemistry are often unremarkable in cats with EPI.
 Serum concentrations of cobalamin are often decreased. Serum folate concentrations may also be decreased due to concurrent [[Inflammatory Bowel Disease|Inflammatory bowel disease]] or intestinal lymphoma.
-The most sensitive and specific test for the diagnosis of feline EPI is the feline trypsin-like immunoreactivity assay ('''fTLI'''). The values are greatly reduced as compared to normal animals. Values '''<8µg/l''' in cats are considered diagnostic. This test must be carried out after withdrawing food for several hours. Unfortunatley the fTLI assay is only available from specialist laboratories, other tests are available but are often inconvenient and expensive.

 ==Prognosis==
 EPI is generally irreversible and hence life-long treatment is needed. The prognosis is generally good as long the owner is aware of the longevity of the disease and the cost involved with treating it.
