Comparison of the influence of EDTA-K3 and sodium citrate on haematology analysis in healthy dogs The study was carried out on 30 clinically healthy dogs of various breeds. Haemoglobin concentration, haematocrit, platelet count and platelet haematocrit were significantly lower in citrate blood than in tripotassium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA-K3) blood. The study confirmed the limited usage of sodium citrate in haematology analysis, unless canine EDTA-dependent thrombocytopenia is suspected.

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)-dependent pseudothrombocytopenia is the phenomenon of a spurious low platelet count due to antiplatelet antibodies that cause platelet clumping in blood anticoagulated with EDTA. The aggregation of platelets in EDTA-dependent pseudothrombocytopenia is usually prevented by other anticoagulants, such as sodium citrate. EDTA-dependent pseudothrombocytopenia has never been associated with hemorrhagic diathesis or platelet dysfunction. In this article, a 2,5-year-old boy with EDTA-dependent pseudothrombocytopenia is presented because of rare presentation. We report that EDTA can induce platelet clumping, and thus spuriously low platelet counts. However, aggregation of platelets was not detected in blood samples with sodium citrate, and platelet count was normal.

AbstractMany preanalytical variables may affect the results of routine coagulation assays. While advances in laboratory instrumentation have partially addressed the laboratory's ability to recognize some of these variables, there remains an increased reliance on laboratory personnel to recognize the three potential areas where coagulation testing preanalytical issues may arise: (1) specimen collection (including patient selection), (2) specimen transportation and stability, and (3) specimen processing and storage. The purpose of this article is to identify the preanalytical variables associated with coagulation-related testing and provide laboratory practice recommendations in an effort to improve the quality of coagulation testing and accuracy of result reporting.
