Coagulation profile in two nephropathic dogs
Journal Title: Journal of Veterinary and Animal Sciences - Year 2021, Vol 52, Issue 4
Abstract
Coagulatory abnormalities are common in renal dysfunction in humans. The studies on coagulatory abnormalities in renal failure in dogs are limited. The present paper deals with coagulation profile in acute and chronic kidney disease in dogs. The haemostatic defects observed in acute renal dysfunction included thrombocytopaenia, prolonged capillary bleeding time (CBT), elevated D-Dimer and hypoantithrombinemia which indicated a hypercoagulable state. Prolongation of prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), elevated D-Dimer concentration and hypoantithrombinemia in chronic kidney disease indicated the presence of hypocoagulable state.
