That is a great question for your vet, lipid values can vary depending on what the dog eats, when the dog eats, precursors to some metabolic issues, etc. Furthermore when blood panels are run other values are taken into consideration, so the overall panel should evaluated carefully.


Do you mean VALUE of 790.6 or do you have a form that is coded for medical staff to record information and for charging purposes?

That number has no meaning other than identifying the code for the test.
