GI Lymphoma Test Kit for Cats and Dogs

Gastrointestinal (GI) disease Differentiating GI Lymphoma from Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) continues to be a challenge in many patients, especially cats. When ultrasound is suggestive and biopsy is not an option, alternative pathways to diagnosis are needed. The development of the  GI Lymphoma Panel was aimed at improving the detection of small cell LSA and better separating groups for better sensitivity and specificity in the GI differential. Biomarker Overview GI Lymphoma Panel is a 4 biomarker panel, 3 of which (along with age) are integrated into the primary diagnostic algorithm: Neoplasia Index. The markers are: Thymidine Kinase Type 1 (TK1): DNA Proliferation Marker Haptoglobin (HPT): Inflammatory Marker for cats / C-Reactive Protein (CRP): Inflammatory Marker for dogs. Cobalamin (B12): Essential Vitamin affected by and affecting GI IBD/LSA Folate: Essential Vitamin involved in DNA synthesi TK1 TK1, an enzyme responsible for the production of thymidine during cell
