When you are pregnant, prolactin changes are completely normal. In fact, your prolactin must increase in order to encourage the production of milk in your mammary glands. During pregnancy your hormones are all over the place. In particular, your estrogen levels begin to rise, and this is what stimulates the increase in your prolactin levels.
Hypercalcemia in Cats. Hypercalcemia is characterized by an abnormally high amount of calcium in the blood. A cat is considered hypercalcemic when its total serum calcium level is greater than 10.5 mg/dL.
A mildly elevated level of AP is found in normal dogs and cats when they are immature. When AP is elevated in mature pets, most causes are associated with a primary or secondary liver problem that prevents the normal flow of bile. In cats, the two most common causes of elevated alkaline phosphatase are cholangiohepatitis and hepatic lipidosis (HL). In HL, blood bilirubin levels are usually quite high as well. Bile duct obstruction (gallstones) â particularly when GGT enzyme is elevated equally or greater - is sometimes the cause.
