Feline serum amyloid A (fSAA) Test Kit

Feline serum amyloid A (fSAA) is an acute-phase protein synthesized by the liver and is a sensitive marker of inflammation and tissue damage in cats.

Approximately 3-6 hours after viral and bacterial infections, fSAA begins to increase and can reach a peak within 24-48 hours, with an increase in concentration of up to 100 times.

Clinical Application:

· Infection-assisted diagnosis and continuous monitoring:

Combined with other indicators, it can timely identify the type of infection, monitor the disease progression, guide and monitor the efficacy of antibiotics, improve the treatment plan, and can be used as a prognostic marker for the disease. Continuous detection of fSAA can monitor the progress of the disease. If its concentration decreases between two consecutive tests, it can indirectly reflect that the treatment is effective.

· Postoperative monitoring:

Postoperative infection is a common complication after surgery in animals. fSAA detection is helpful for the early diagnosis of postoperative infection. Changes in fSAA concentration at different time points can be used to detect postoperative infectious complications.

· Regular physical examination:

It can be used to detect cats that appear normal on the surface but have latent inflammation. Before other indicators show abnormalities, fSAA can increase rapidly in the early stage of inflammation and tissue damage, and can sensitively indicate abnormalities in the body, providing an important basis for the clinical judgment of early inflammation in the body, which is conducive to early detection and early treatment.
