We hope to identify the nutrients that are associated with elevated pancreatic-specific serum markers in cats, which suggest pancreatic cell damage. And hence better understand what nutrient might possibly cause or aggravate pancreatitis and thus should be avoided in cats with or at risk of pancreatitis.

Dr. Wu is looking for cats with either chronic kidney disease or diabetes mellitus.
