Additionally, a decreased serum enzyme activity may be consistent with liver failure only if the latter depends on a severe reduction of the hepatic mass, which was not noticed at necropsy or histologically and that would have been associated with a severe decrease of albumin and/or with a severe increase of triglycerides due to a decreased hepatic metabolization of lipids [59, 60], not detected in the current study. The gene discussed is ALB; the disease is Hepatic failure.
