Nodular hyperplasia is a common cause of mild to moderate increases in total serum ALP activity in asymptomatic dogs older than 8 years of age. In patients with nodular hyperplasia, other serum liver enzymes activities (transaminases) may be elevated, but hepatic function test results are usually normal.

Twelve normal dogs were administered phenobarbital at a dosage of approximately 4.4-6.6 mg/kg PO q12h for 27 weeks ...
