fsaa is an indicator often used to check whether there is an inflammatory response in a cat's current physical condition. It is a relatively common inflammatory response indicator in cats. When the index is elevated, it means the cat has an inflammatory response. Common causes of inflammatory reactions in cats, such as pneumonia, arthritis, infectious peritonitis, etc., it is recommended to conduct detailed examinations to diagnose the cause in a timely manner.

How to view the fsaa indicator:

1. The normal value is less than five. When a cat’s SAA value is too high, anti-inflammatory injections are needed to control inflammation in the body. of. However, the reference ranges specified by different instrument manufacturers are also different. Generally, the normal range will be clearly stated in the instructions.

2. In addition, it is worth noting that anti-inflammatory injections are usually injected for three days. If after three days, the inflammation in the cat’s body still does not decrease or even gets higher, the drug or administration method needs to be changed immediately.

3. Normally, the concentration of fSAA in healthy cats is low, but it will increase rapidly for 3-6 hours after inflammatory stimulation, reaching the maximum concentration after 24-48 hours. Cats with inflammatory diseases such as FIP, acute pancreatitis, and following surgical trauma often have significantly elevated SAA concentrations.

4. However, some non-inflammatory diseases such as diabetes and hyperthyroidism can also cause SAA to increase, and their serum SAA concentration is significantly different from that of normal cats.
