23 lip 2014 · The aims of this study were to evaluate platelet indices including MPV, PCT, and PDW in dogs with presumed primary IMT and to compare the time required for PLT and PCT to reach a threshold value presumed to be associated with decreased risk of bleeding.

Abstract. Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is the most common acquired primary hemostatic disorder in dogs. Immune thrombocytopenia less commonly affects cats but is an important cause of mortality and treatment-associated morbidity in both species. Immune thrombocytopenia remains a diagnosis of exclusion for which diagnostic guidelines are lacking.
Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) Individual platelets can vary markedly in size within a given sample, especially in blood from dogs and cats (even in health). The mean platelet volume is measured only be automated analyzers, such as the Advia.
Platelet disorders can result from having too few or too many platelets or from impaired platelet function. In general, when platelet counts fall very low there is an increased risk of bleeding. Decreases in platelets may be caused by anti-platelet antibodies, drugs, toxins, or disorders of the bone marrow.
5 paź 2021 · Alterations in platelet indices, specifically mean platelet volume (MPV), is a consistent finding in critically ill people and dogs with and without sepsis. Increased MPV has been reported to be an indirect indicator of platelet activation and of bone marrow response in people and dogs with sepsis.
A low platelet count from an automated blood counter should always be confirmed by manually examining a blood smear. Analysers may miscount large platelet precursors (megakaryocytes) and platelet clumps (Figure3), which are common in cats, to give an artificially low count.
Animals: Forty-nine dogs with automated PLT < 30,000/μL because of presumed primary IMT and hematocrit (HCT), PCT, MPV, and platelet distribution width determined from the same complete blood count (CBC), and 46 healthy controls.
