Good agreement of conventional and gel-based direct agglutination test in immune-mediated haemolytic anaemia
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare a gel-based test with the traditional direct agglutination test (DAT) for the diagnosis of immune-mediated haemolytic anaemia (IMHA). METHODS Canine (n = 247) and feline (n = 74) blood samples were submitted for DAT testing to two laboratories. A subset of canine samples was categorized as having idiopathic IMHA, secondary IMHA, or no IMHA. RE...
متن کاملThe use of the rapid osmotic fragility test as an additional test to diagnose canine immune-mediated haemolytic anaemia
BACKGROUND Diagnosing canine immune-mediated haemolytic anaemia (IMHA) is often challenging because all currently available tests have their limitations. Dogs with IMHA often have an increased erythrocyte osmotic fragility (OF), a characteristic that is sometimes used in the diagnosis of IMHA. Since the classic osmotic fragility test (COFT) is time-consuming and requires specialized equipment, ...
متن کاملImmunosuppressive therapy for canine immune-mediated hemolytic anemia.
The mortality for dogs with severe immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA) is unacceptably high, and better immunosuppressive regimens are needed to increase survival. Understanding the basic immunology of the disease and the mechanisms of action of the available immunosuppressive therapies will help clinicians choose an appropriate immunosuppressive protocol. Prospective, randomized clinical s...

TARGET ANTIGENS IN CANINE IMMUNE-MEDIATED HEMOLYTIC ANEMIA Emmeline Ong Tan Advisor: University of Guelph, 2010 Dr. Darren Wood Primary immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA) is an important cause of serious morbidity and mortality in dogs. Despite numerous studies examining the demographics, treatment options, and prognostic indicators of disease, the mechanisms that underlie immune dysregula...
متن کاملSerum Thymidine Kinase 1, Canine‐C‐Reactive Protein, Haptoglobin, and Vitamin D Concentrations in Dogs with Immune‐Mediated Hemolytic Anemia, Thrombocytopenia, and Polyarthropathy
BACKGROUND Relapses of immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA), thrombocytopenia (ITP), or polyarthropathy (IMPA) occur despite normal hematologic and cytologic parameters. Thymidine kinase 1 (TK1), canine C-reactive protein (c-CRP), haptoglobin (HPT), and 25-Hydroxyvitamin-D (25(OH)D) might be adjunct to current monitoring strategies. HYPOTHESIS/OBJECTIVES Compare serum concentrations of TK1...
