Preoperative coagulation panels in dogs with primary liver tumors

Hemangiosarcoma may be significantly associated with prolongation of PT or aPTT

The objectives of this retrospective study were to: (i) Determine whether operable primary liver tumors were associated with prolongations in prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and (ii) determine if these secondary hemostatic abnormalities were more prevalent with specific liver tumors. Data of dogs undergoing liver lobectomy for a primary liver tumor with a preoperative coagulation panel at eight veterinary teaching hospitals were identified. Baseline dog characteristics, coagulation panel values, platelet count, emergency versus non-emergency procedure, whether the dogs received transfusion(s) of a blood product, liver lobe removed, and histopathological diagnosis were extracted from the medical record. Chi-square ...
