Cytology 10.jpg


An eight-year-old female spayed DSH cat presented with a two-week history of intermittent vomiting. There was an acute onset of lethargy and anorexia. Significant findings on physical examination included icterus and severe hepatomegaly. CBC findings included moderate, nonregenerative anaemia (PCV = 0.23 l/l). Abnormal biochemistry findings were: ALT = 360 U/l (ref. = 10–80 U/l); ALP = 120 U/L (ref. = 2–43 U/l); bilirubin = 55 μmol/l (ref. = 0–3.4 μmol/l). An FNA of the liver was obtained and a smear made (Wright–Giemsa, ×25).
