Summary
Chiana, my Maine Coon cat, is thriving despite her Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) diagnosis. Her latest bloodwork highlights stable health, including normal liver and kidney function, balanced blood sugar and electrolytes, and strong immune system markers. Though her platelet count is slightly low, it’s not a critical concern. This report showcases her resilience on her care plan with 200 mg of raltegravir.
1. Overall Health Indicators
-
Total Protein: 8.5 g/dL (Normal: 5.2–8.8)
Proteins in the blood are vital for immunity and overall health. Chiana’s levels are within the normal range. - Albumin & Globulin: Albumin at 4.0 g/dL and globulin at 4.5 g/dL indicate no protein imbalances.
-
Albumin/Globulin Ratio: 0.9 (Normal: 0.35–1.5)
This ratio suggests balanced liver and immune function.
2. Liver & Kidney Function
- Liver Enzymes: ALT (42 IU/L) and Alkaline Phosphatase (5 IU/L) are within normal ranges, indicating no liver damage.
- Kidney Indicators: BUN at 27 mg/dL and creatinine at 1.3 mg/dL are normal. SDMA at 15.0 µg/dL is mildly increased but not alarming.
3. Blood Sugar & Electrolytes
- Glucose: 92 mg/dL, reflecting stable blood sugar levels.
- Electrolytes: Sodium (149 mEq/L), potassium (4.3 mEq/L), and chloride (113 mEq/L) are well-balanced.
4. Immune System & Blood Health
-
White Blood Cells: 7.9 x 103/uL (Normal: 3.5–16.0)
Her immune response is healthy with no infections. - Platelets: 259 x 103/uL, slightly below the normal range but adequate for blood clotting.
What It All Means
Chiana’s condition is stable, with healthy organ functions and no major signs of complications from FeLV. Regular monitoring ensures early detection of any potential issues.
