Determination of some coagulation parameters according to age and sex in Sivas Kangal dogs
Determination of some coagulation parameters according to age and sex in Sivas Kangal dogs
Hemostasis is stopping bleeding in a controlled manner whereas coagulation is a series criterion and to diagnose disorderscaused by coagulation in an early period is to determine the coagulation time. These phases are controlled with various tests. In this study,the aim is to determine some coagulation parameters in Sivas Kangal dogs by taking the age and sex into consideration. Coagulationis vitally important in many physiological and pathological cases. The most important tests, complete blood count with peripheralblood smear, prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), and D-dimer fibrin degradation product assaywere applied to all subjects, respectively. It was found that thrombocyte counts in Sivas Kangal dogs were affected by the age factor inautomatic and manual counting, whereas they were not affected by sex. In the same way, while PT times showed a meaningful changeamong groups depending on age, aPTT times were not affected by sex or age. The D-dimer assay results, which show the existence offibrin degradation product, change depending on age and sex.
