Background Dogs with protein-losing nephropathy (PLN) are at risk of thromboembolic disease, but the mechanism leading to hypercoagulability and the population of dogs at risk are unknown. Objectives To characterize thromboelastography (TEG) and its association with serum albumin (SALB), UPC, and antithrombin activity in dogs with PLN. Animals Twenty-eight client-owned dogs with PLN (urine protein:creatinine ratio [UPC] >2.0) and 8 control dogs were prospectively enrolled in this observational study. Methods TEG parameters, antithrombin activity, serum biochemical profiles, and UPC were measured. TEG analyses were run in duplicate with kaolin activation; reaction time (R), clot formation time (K), -angle (), maximal amplitude (MA), and global clot strength (G) were analyzed. Results Dogs with PLN had lower K (P=.004), and higher (P=.001), MA (P
