Orientador: Regina Kiomi Takahira / Banca: Leonardo Brandão / Banca: Marcelo Larami Santoro / Resumo: O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a importância das plaquetas reticuladas nas condições trombocitopênicas associadas a hipoplasia de megacariócitos e a outras etiologias sem alteração no número de megacariócitos. Para tanto foram utilizados 30 cães sadios adultos (Grupo controle); 15 cães com trombocitopenia (< 100.000 plaquetas/mL), por causas diversas que não sejam por hipoplasia megacariocítica (Grupo A) e 15 cães com trombocitopenia (< 100.000 plaquetas/mL) e com hipoplasia megariocítica (Grupo B), constatadas por meio de citologia aspirativa de medula óssea. Foi coletado sangue e extraído o plasma rico em plaquetas para a realização da quantificação das plaquetas reticuladas em citometria de fluxo e colheita de medula óssea para a análise do número de megacariócitos por duas técnicas distintas e correlação com as plaquetas reticuladas. Não foi observada diferença estatística (p>0,05) entre as duas técnicas de quantificação de megacariócitos. Foi observada diferença estatística (p<0,05) para as plaquetas reticuladas, sendo superior nos grupos A e B, em relação ao grupo controle. Não houve correlação entre plaqueta reticulada e megacariócitos medulares. A ausência de correlação observada não nos permite estabelecer relações de contagem de PR com o aumento do número de megacariócitos na medula óssea. / Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the reticulated platelet importance in evaluation of platelet production in thrombocytopenic conditions associated with megakaryocytic hypoplasia and other conditions with adequate number of bone marrow megacaryocytes. These study were obtained from 30 healthy dogs (control group), 15 thrombocytopenic dogs (< 100,000 platelets/μL) without megakaryocytic hipoplasia (group A) and 15 thrombocytopenic dogs (< 100,000 platelets /μL) with megakaryocytic hipoplasia (group B). Blood samples were collected and the platelet rich plasma (PRP) was extracted for quantification of reticulated platelets in flow cytometry, megakaryocytes were quantified in marrow particles, collected from aspiration cytology and correlated to reticulated platelets counts. No statistical significance (p>0.05) was observed between two megakaryocytes quantification techniques. For reticulated platelets was observed statistical significance difference (p<0.05), values from groups A and B were higher than control group. No correlation was verified between reticulated platelets and marrow megakaryocytes. The absence of correlation do not allow us to establish relationship of reticulated platelets with increase production of bone marrow megakaryocytes. / Mestre
