My cat's blood test shows high kidney and liver values. Is it serious?

Question

I took my cat for a regular blood test for the first time. His creatinine is 1.6 mg/dl, SGOT- 42 u/l, SGPT-36 u/l. Alkaline phosphates- 130 u/l . He is currently on comolete dry food diet and does not like chicken and eggs. The vet said it's could be due to less water consumption and suggested wet food. The results got me worried and I need a second opinion. Is it abnormal? What could it be? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 1 year and 10 months old | 10 lbs

Hi and thanks for using PetCoach! Sorry to hear about Toby. Dehydration shouldn't affect creatinine. It affects BUN. Not sure what caused the slight rise in creatinine but that usually means there may be some kidney dysfunction. It's not that elevated and could be laboratory error also since the BUN is normal. Liver enzymes can become raised for many reasons. Liver inflammation, infection, pancreatitis, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, toxin exposure, among many other things. I don't think feeding a wet food is a bad idea, it forces the cat to take more fluids in since canned food has a high water content. I would also recommend a liver supplement to address the rise in the liver enzymes. I would advise checking out this website and the following products- https://vet.vrshealth.com/product/1157 Hepato TruBenefits and Cat and Small Dog Omega Benefits (fish oil) **Use Promo code “petcoach20” for a discount on your order. These two supplements can help the liver and the entire body repair. I would advise trying these and then have the bloodwork redone in 30-60 days to see if the values are better. Good luck
