The laboratory findings of a moderately elevated serum ALP activity in conjunction with a normal serum GGT activity can also be a clue, for this serum liver enzyme pattern is a characteristic finding in affected cats. An Oil-Red-O stain for lipids would confirm that the non-stained material within the hepatocytes is indeed lipid.
