The aim of this retrospective study was to determine the diagnostic utility of fasting SBA in this population.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n Dogs that met the tier 1 confidence level diagnosis of idiopathic epilepsy, with the additional requirement of both fasting and 2\u2010hour postprandial SBA measurements, were included. The incidence of significant hepatopathies and usefulness of dynamic SBA testing and minimum database results were analysed.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n A total of 233 dogs were included. All dogs diagnosed with clinically significant hepatopathy had elevations in postprandial SBA, with eight of 14 (57.14%) showing elevations in fasting SBA. The prevalence of clinically significant hepatopathies that could have been missed without using postprandial SBA measurement was 1.29%.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Limitations<\/jats:title>\n The further investigations performed were not uniform and there were limitations in the ability to control sampling techniques due to the retrospective nature of this study. Investigations into hepatopathy were not standardised across this study population.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n This study documents the importance of postprandial SBA measurements in the detection of hepatopathies and reveals\u00a0that non\u2010dynamic blood sampling has a negative predictive value of 91% for detecting elevated postprandial SBA, specific to dogs meeting the tier 1 confidence level diagnosis of idiopathic epilepsy.<\/jats:p>\n
