Our hypothesis was that cyclosporine and prednisone would increase markers of hypercoagulability and thromboxane synthesis, while azathioprine, mycophenolate mofetil, and leflunomide would have minimal effects on hemostasis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Animals<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Eight healthy dogs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A randomized, cross-over study used aggregometry, the PFA-100 platelet function analyzer, viscoelastometry, platelet count, and prothrombin and activated partial thromboplastin times to evaluate hemostasis during the administration of prednisone, azathioprine, cyclosporine, mycophenolate mofetil, and leflunomide for 1 week each at standard oral doses. Urine 11-dehydro-thromboxane-B2 (11-dTXB2) and 6-keto-prostaglandin-F1\u03b1 (6-keto-PGF1\u03b1) concentrations, normalized to urine creatinine concentration, were measured.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The aggregometry amplitude decreased from 51\u2009\u00b1\u200921 to 27\u2009\u00b1\u200914 (P\u2009=\u2009.002) during leflunomide treatment (ADP activation), but there were no differences in amplitude (P\u2009=\u2009.240) for any medications when platelets were activated with collagen. For all medications, there were no significant differences in viscoelastometry indices (ACT, P\u2009=\u2009.666; ClotRate, P\u2009=\u2009.340; and platelet function, P\u2009=\u2009.411) and platelet count (P\u2009=\u2009.552). Compared with pretreatment values, urinary 11-dTXB2-to-creatinine ratio increased (P\u2009=\u2009.001) after drug administration (from 3.7\u2009\u00b1\u20090.6 to 5.6\u2009\u00b1\u20091.1). Cyclosporine was associated with an increase (P\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001) in the 6-keto-PGF1\u03b1-to-creatinine ratio (from 10.3\u2009\u00b1\u20094.6 to 22.1\u2009\u00b1\u20095.3).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions and Clinical Importance<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Most immunosuppressive drugs do not enhance platelet function or coagulation in healthy dogs, suggesting that these medications might not predispose hypercoagulable dogs to thromboembolism.
