“…Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) prevents clot formation and allows accurate cell counting. Under-filling the tube may lead to haemolysis and cell damage; therefore, an adequate sample should be placed in the tube to reach the 'fill line' (Tri Ratnaningsih & Gumilang 2006 ). EDTA can be bacteriostatic or bactericidal and so is unsuitable for culture specimens (Banin et al 2006 ).…”

With the improved accessibility to ultrasound, fine needle aspiration of abdominal organs is now performed frequently in many veterinary practices. Despite this, there are many ‘unknowns’ as to the best method to produce a high‐quality sample. This report begins by highlighting recent literature on the risks and benefits of abdominal fine needle aspiration. It follows with recommendations about the equipment and method best suited to the procedure, including needle and syringe size and aspiration versus non‐aspiration techniques. Various smear preparations and laboratory submission requirements are also discussed. The final aspect of the review more specifically discusses fine needle aspiration of specific abdominal organs: the liver, kidney, spleen, pancreas, urinary bladder, prostate and abdominal lymph nodes.
