Validation of human recombinant tissue factor–activated thromboelastography on citrated whole blood from clinically healthy dogs

Abstract

Canine citrated WB can be used for TEG analysis with human recombinant TF as the activator when stored at RT for T30 or T120. At both time points, the analytical variation was low, suggesting that TEG analysis may be of value in evaluating dogs with hemostatic disorders. A fixed time point should be chosen for serial measurements.
