Abstract

To describe an intravascular fibrin sheath associated with a hemodialysis catheter in a dog. A 4-year-old dog presented for hemodialysis to treat acute kidney injury. Hemodialysis catheter dysfunction during the course of treatment was temporarily alleviated using a tissue plasminogen activator. A thrombus composed of fibrin and granulation tissue creating a sheath around the catheter and focally adherent to the vessel wall was identified on postmortem evaluation. Fibrin sheath formation is a commonly recognized problem of central venous catheters used for hemodialysis in people and is likely a common problem in veterinary patients undergoing dialysis as well. This report provides a description of the clinical features of the catheter dysfunction, response to treatment, postmortem radiographic and direct imaging, and histology of the fibrin sheath, and also provides a brief review of potential management techniques that have been described in people.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
