Endogenous fibrinolytic potential in tissue‐plasminogen activator‐modified thromboelastography analysis is significantly decreased in dogs suffering from diseases predisposing to thrombosis

Abstract

Addition of t-PA activates fibrinolysis in TEG of blood from both healthy dogs and dogs with diseases predisposing to thrombosis. The significantly decreased fibrinolysis in diseased dogs suggests that this may be a potential prothrombotic risk factor in dogs.
