=== Secondary Lipidosis ===
'''Secondary hepatic lipidosis''' is a neuroendocrine response to other diseases, including [[Pancreatitis - Dog and Cat|pancreatitis]], [[Diabetes Mellitus|diabetes mellitus]], [[Inflammatory Bowel Disease|inflammatory bowel disease]] and primary hypertriglyceridaemia. Secondary hepatic lipidosis is therefore less closely associated with obesity and it may be seen in normal or even thin cats. In dogs, this secondary lipid accumulation rarely contributes to the clinical syndrome but in cats, it may greatly exacerbate the disease suffered by the affected animal. Secondary lipidosis is much more common than primary in cats in the UK.

Urinalysis may reveal '''bilirubinuria''' as the serum bilirubin concentration is increased as in any cholestatic disease.

Cats with hepatic lipidosis often become deficient for vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin), especially if they concurrent [[Inflammatory Bowel Disease|inflammatory bowel disease]] of [[Pancreatitis - Dog and Cat|pancreatitis]].
