My cat has had hyperthyroidism for over a year (her levels are a bit elevated at the moment so adjusting medication) and the vet said her latest results could be indicating the early stages of kidney disease.
I've just got a copy of the results as a matter of interest (probably a stupid thing to do, as I'm sure the vet can't have overlooked anything and I'm now worrying) and I noticed that ALT and Alk. Phosphatase are high, looking on the internet they seem to relate to the liver, but they could be high due to the treatment of her hyperthyroidism.
Does anyone understand the results. If so, what do they indicate? The only symptons I've noticed are increased eating and being vocal, consistent with hyperthyroidism. Her heart rate is on the lower end of normal apparently.
