What is Serum amyloid A (SAA)1,2?
• Major acute-phase proteins (APPs) produced in the liver
• Exists at very low concentrations in healthy cats
• Increase within 8 hours after inflammatory stimulus
• Rising > 50-fold (up to 1,000-fold) and peaking at 2 days
• Decreases within 24 hours after resolution
How can SAA be utilized in cats?
• Routine screening for inflammation during health check-ups
If SAA levels are elevated, it indicates inflammation somewhere in the body.
• Assessing the severity of inflammation in sick patients
SAA levels quantitatively reflect the severity of inflammation.
• Monitoring treatment progress in postoperative or inflamed patients Discharge can be considered once SAA levels normalize (< 5 μg/mL).
When does SAA concentration increase3~8?
