What the FDA AER plate says about Elevated ALT
Signature read: death-coded share at 23.0% is the most distinctive outcome stamp on Elevated ALT. Report volume sits in the middle third of the reaction corpus. 23 of 100 reports were death-coded (23.0% of named reports, not a population mortality rate). Nearest volume peer: Circulatory shock (±0 reports). Lead species Dog (94). Lead co-reported drug Grapiprant (36).
Read these counts as reporting volume, not risk: per our methodology, Lead co-reported drug Grapiprant appears in filings alongside this reaction; that is association, not causation. Browse the full reactions index or the about page for how PlainBreed frames FDA CVM extracts.
