Griffon Vulture Coagulation Reference Values for PT, INR, and Factor V

Juan A. De Pablo-Moreno standardized coagulation tests for Griffon vultures (Gyps fulvus) using human diagnostic reagents. Plasma samples from 17 healthy individuals were analyzed to establish reference intervals for prothrombin time (PT), INR, and coagulation factor V (FV). The protocol aims to improve diagnosis of coagulation disorders from lead or rodenticide poisoning in wildlife rehabilitation.

Use Cases

• Establishing clinical reference intervals for avian coagulation based on standardized protocols.
• Diagnosing coagulation disorders in Griffon vultures based on PT, INR, and Factor V values.
• Improving clinical follow-up of lead or rodenticide poisoning cases in wildlife based on established coagulation metrics.
• Adapting human diagnostic reagents for veterinary medicine based on the described methodology.

Strengths

• Provides a specific protocol for analyzing Griffon vulture plasma using human diagnostic reagents.
• Establishes reference intervals for PT, INR, and Factor V from 17 healthy individuals.
• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is small (676.3 KB), indicating limited scope.
