DAT+ dogs were more severely anemic and more likely to have erythroid regeneration compared to DAT- dogs. Notably, DAT results were comparable and consistent across all evaluated methods regardless of antiglobulin and temperature used. Among the 126 samples submitted for DAT 67 were positive by a DAT utilizing microtiter plates with goat anti-dog antiglobulin DAT at 22☌. Results Samples from healthy dogs yielded negative results with all immunodiagnostic tests. Samples were also subjected to different DATs: a gel minitube and an immunochromatographic strip kit used in clinics neutral gel column cards, microtiter plates (at 4°, 22°, and 37☌), capillary tubes, and flow cytometry used in laboratories. Material and methods Anticoagulated blood samples from 126 dogs suspected of having IMHA submitted to a diagnostic veterinary laboratory for a routine direct antiglobulin test (DAT) and from 28 healthy control dogs were evaluated for spherocytosis and autoagglutination before and after three saline washes. As data on the performance of immunohematological tests was lacking, we undertook a comparative analysis. In addition, use of these tests for monitoring response of IMHA dogs to treatment might be valuable.Ībstract Background A 2019 ACVIM consensus statement on diagnostics for immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA) in dogs made testing recommendations. Conclusions Based upon this comparative prospective survey, all in-clinic and laboratory DAT techniques produced similar results when performed by trained personnel and can therefore be recommended for detection of antibody-coated erythrocytes and immunohematological diagnosis. Of the sample from 12 DAT+ dogs collected during treatment, 10 remained DAT+ when tested 1–24 weeks after initial assessment. Clinical follow-up was available for 42 dogs. There was good correlation between spherocytosis and DAT results from the six DAT techniques, but the correlation with autoagglutination was only fair. Among the DAT+ samples, 57% had agglutination, 87% had spherocytosis, and 45% had both. Macroscopic agglutination in tubes or on slides was observed in 48 samples after 1:1 and 1:4 blood to saline dilution, but only persisted in four samples after washing.
