LIPC and Decreased liver function: Our resultssuggest that hepatic lipases released in hepatopathy do not increase serum DGGR lipaseactivities to a clinically significant extent, given that no significant elevation (>3×upper RI) was observed in the hepatopathy group, and DGGR lipase was not significantlyincreased in this group compared to a control group of dogs with histologically normalpancreases.
