Re: canine cpl snap test results Canine CPL Snap Test A multi-institutional study evaluating diagnostic utility of Spec cPL® in the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis in dogs Purpose—To investigate the performance of the Spec cPL ELISA in dogs with a clinical diagnosis of acute pancreatitis. Design—Fourteen members from the Comparative Gasteroenterology Society, representing five different institutions, Results— Spec cPL differed according to group (1-Way ANOVA P<0.001) and was higher (P<0.001) in dogs with greater suspicio of pancreatitis (groups 2, 3 and 4) than those without suspicio of pancreatitis (groups 0APS and 0CO). Results of the study also found that: Amylase and lipase activities did not differ between groups Spec cPL sensitivity and specificity for cases with clinic scores of 0 (no pancreatitis) and of 2, 3 and 4 (pancreatitis calculated using current cut off values of <200 μg/L a negative and >400 μg/L positive, yielded a 93% sensitivi and 78% specificity. The likelihood ratio of a negative test (0.029) was bettertha that for a positive test (1.3). Conclusions—The Spec cPL Test is better able to discrimina dogs with suspected pancreatitis than amylase and lipase, and the dogs with a Spec cPL result <200 μg/L are unlikely to have clinic acute pancreatitis.
