Randomized trial shows decreased platelet function in cats with acute kidney injury, suggesting implications for treatment.

To investigate the relationship between acute kidney injury (AKI) and platelet dysfunction in domestic cats.
Fifteen cats with AKI and 15 control cats were studied.
Platelet function was assessed using PFA-200 and Multiplate assays.
Associations between platelet parameters and severity of azotemia were analyzed.
Cats with AKI had a median PFA-200 closure time of 109 s compared to 56 s in controls (P = .001).
Median Multiplate AUC for ADP was significantly lower in AKI cats (62 vs 108; P = .002) and for ASPI (22 vs 46; P = .001).
No correlation was found between serum urea, creatinine, or phosphorus concentrations and platelet dysfunction among cats with AKI.
