Ascites

Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) is a fatal disease primarily caused by a coronavirus. Testing for abdominal effusion plays a crucial role in diagnosing and managing FIP. By analyzing the effusion, veterinarians can assess the viral load, protein concentration, white blood cell count, and other biomarkers—key indicators that help confirm an FIP diagnosis. Moreover, evaluating the composition of the effusion can distinguish FIP from other conditions that may cause fluid accumulation, such as liver disease or tumors. Timely and accurate testing of abdominal effusion not only aids in confirming the diagnosis but also guides treatment decisions, potentially improving the survival chances of affected cats. Therefore, effusion testing holds significant clinical importance in the diagnosis and treatment of FIP.
