Hemostatic abnormalities in equine colic.

I B Johnstone, S Crane

    American Journal of Veterinary Research
    |February 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Horses experiencing colic often show blood clotting abnormalities. The severity of these hemostatic issues in horses with gastrointestinal disease varies depending on the specific cause of the colic.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Equine Health
    • Hematology

    Background:

    • Colic is a common and serious condition in horses.
    • Gastrointestinal diseases can significantly impact a horse's overall health.
    • Understanding hemostatic function is crucial in managing equine patients.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate hemostatic profiles in horses presenting with clinical colic.
    • To identify common coagulopathies associated with equine colic.
    • To determine if the cause of colic correlates with the severity of hemostatic abnormalities.

    Main Methods:

    • Collected blood samples from 30 horses with clinical colic upon admission.
    • Performed a comprehensive panel of hemostatic tests, including platelet count, fibrinogen, antithrombin, prothrombin time, partial thromboplastin time, thrombin time, protamine sulfate test, and fibrin-fibrinogen degradation products.

  • Categorized horses into groups based on the etiology of colic: colitis/diarrhea, torsion/obstruction, and impaction/enteroliths.

    • Main Results:

    • 28 out of 30 horses (93%) exhibited at least one coagulogram abnormality.
    • The most frequent abnormalities included elevated plasma fibrinogen, increased soluble fibrin monomer, prolonged partial thromboplastin time, and prolonged thrombin time.
    • Horses with colitis/diarrhea (Group 1) displayed the most severe coagulopathies, while those with impaction/enteroliths (Group 3) showed fewer abnormalities, primarily elevated fibrinogen and/or soluble fibrin monomer.

    Conclusions:

    • Hemostatic abnormalities are prevalent in horses suffering from gastrointestinal disease and colic.
    • The degree of hemostatic dysfunction appears to be influenced by the underlying cause of the colic.
    • These findings highlight the importance of assessing coagulation status in horses with colic for effective management.
