“Serum chemistry profiles reveal that many cats with FIP have elevated serum total protein concentrations because of the high globulin concentrations; however, even with normal total protein concentrations, a decreased albumin-globulin ratio may be evident. As this ratio approaches 0.5, a diagnosis of FIP becomes more likely.”
