Elevated liver enzyme ALS


Recommended Posts

Hi all. My Lurcher is closing in on nine years now and has been healthy and kept in good condition throughout. Last vet visit his ALT ( Alanine Aminotransferase) was elevated at 178 U/L. Normal range is 10-125 Today his ALT was 339 U/L. So, obviously doing nothing didn't help. I'm giving him VRS HEPATO capsules two once a day. After 4 weeks he'll be rechecked. In searching the web I came up with this article which pertains to this enzyme and retired greyhounds used for blood donors. Thought I would share it and I was wondering if anyone else has experienced elevated ALT? My Lurcher is 3/4 grey and 1/4 collie.

At the recheck the dog's ALT was 131. This is still a little high, but we're carrying on with the tx. The dog is a little more engaged and curiously it's breath is better. So, maybe rancid breath can indicate liver issues?
