    Excess Plasma Proteins in the Blood (Hyperviscosity) in Cats Print
Treatment
Generally, cats that present with this disease are treated on an inpatient basis. It will be the underlying disease that will be the focus of the treatment. The total treatment plan will be based upon whether the symptoms are being caused by cancer or by an inflammatory condition.
Living and Management
Even after you take your cat home, your veterinarian will want to monitor your cat's serum or plasma proteins frequently to mark the effectiveness of the treatment. Follow-up blood tests will also be conducted, along with urinalyses from time to time, to determine how well your cat is dealing with the disease.
