BLOOD SMEAR BASICS - NC State Veterinary Medicine

BLOOD SMEAR BASICS . JENNIFER A. NEEL, DVM, DACVP (CLINICAL). ASSOCIATE P ROFESSOR, CLINICAL P ATHOLOGY. NC State COLLEGE OF Veterinary Medicine . RALEIGH, NC, 27607. Introduction Although tremendous advances have been made in the field of point-of-care hematology analyzers, examination of a well prepared, well stained BLOOD SMEAR remains the cornerstone of Veterinary diagnostic hematology. Even the most sophisticated hematology instruments are unable to consistently provide accurate differential cell counts, and no analyzer is capable of accurately identifying morphology changes, hemoparasites, neoplastic cells, etc. This review will cover the BASICS of how to approach BLOOD SMEAR evaluation in a consistent and systematic manner and will focus on recognition of clinically significant findings. Making a quality BLOOD SMEAR Although there are several techniques described for making BLOOD smears, most people use the wedge or push technique. Always start with room temperature, well-mixed, clot free, EDTA anticoagulated BLOOD (heparin is used for some exotic species).

Always adjust the microscope for Köhler illumination when you get ready to look at blood smears or cytology slides. It is done to ensure optimal lighting of the slide. Examining a slide with a microscope adjusted for urine sediments or fecal wet-mounts is a waste of time. The procedure is as follows; 1. Focus on a slide at 10x 2.

Proteinuria is a negative prognostic indicator for both dogs and cats with chronic kidney disease. In dogs with chronic kidney disease, an initial urine p rotein: creatinine ratio (UPC) of >1.0 was associated with a threefold greater risk of developing a uremic crisis and death. The relative risk of adverse outcomes

Chemodectomas (heart-base tumors) in Dogs

cvm.ncsu.edu

Most of the time, a presumptive diagnosis is made by a cardiologist based on the location and appearance of the tumor, using an ultrasound of the heart (echocardiogram). In some cases, the diagnosis can be confirmed via biopsy of the tumor (at surgery or with a small biopsy done through the chest wall using a scope).
