Whole blood platelet aggregation was determined in response to collagen, arachidonic acid, and adenosine diphosphate in 20 dogs with liver disease and in 20 control dogs. Platelet aggregation in response to collagen and arachidonic acid was reduced in dogs with liver disease, compared with control dogs (P less than 0.05), whereas there was no significant difference in platelet response to adenosine diphosphate between the 2 groups of dogs. Adenosine diphosphate was found not to be a reliable aggregation agent for determination of whole blood platelets aggregation in dogs. Dogs whose platelet did not aggregate in response to collagen and/or arachidonic acid manifested bleeding tendencies that could be attributed to platelet dysfunction.
