Title: Deficiency of the contact phase of intrinsic coagulation in a horse. Author: Ainsworth DM, Dodds WJ, Brown CM. Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1985 Jul 01; 187(1):71-2. PubMed ID: 3839495. Abstract: A 16-year-old gelding was examined because of weight loss, inappetence, and intermittent fever of 2 months' duration. Preliminary laboratory findings revealed anemia, hypoproteinemia, thrombocytopenia, and prolongation of the activated partial thromboplastin time. A deficiency or inhibition of coagulation factor XI, factor XII, or high molecular weight kininogen was diagnosed. This defect was not associated with a bleeding diathesis, but should be considered as a cause of prolongation of the activated partial thromboplastin time.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
