Impact of platelet count on results obtained from multiple electrode platelet aggregometry (Multiplate™) [PDF]
European Journal of Medical Research, 2010 Objectives Use of potent antiplatelet drugs requires evaluation of platelet function. While platelet function in elective cases is usually assessed in a central laboratory environment, there is also an urgent need for rapid perioperative point-of-care ...

The platelet count in pregnancy. [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1977 The platelet count was measured at approximately monthly intervals during the course of 44 normal pregnancies. There was no evidence of any fall in the platelet count during pregnancy. Any significant change in the platelet count in pregnant women is unlikely to be the result of a normal pregnancy.

Haematologica, 2014 After Giulio Bizzozero identified platelets at the end of the 19th century,[1][1] many authors sought to define the normal concentration of these elements in human blood. However, methods to enumerate platelets remained inaccurate until the middle of the last century, and the proposed ...

Total Hip Arthroplasty for Rapidly Destructive Coxarthrosis in a Patient with Severe Platelet Deficiency due to Liver Cirrhosis and Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura [PDF]
Case Reports in Orthopedics, 2015 Rapidly destructive coxarthrosis (RDC) causes rapid and extreme destruction of the hip joint, which was reported by Postel and Kerboull. RDC is commonly unilateral and occurs mostly in elderly women. Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is characterized

Mean Platelet Volume (MPV), Platelet Distribution Width (PDW), Platelet Count and Plateletcrit (PCT) as predictors of in-hospital paediatric mortality: a case-control Study [PDF]
African Health Sciences, 2016 Background: Thrombocytopenia has been shown to predict mortality. We hypothesize that platelet indices may be more useful prognostic indicators. Our study subjects were children one month to 14 years old admitted to our hospital.Aim: To determine whether

Platelets, 2017 Platelet function tests (PFTs) before cardiac surgery are predictive of postoperative bleeding and can guide a correct timing of surgery in patients under P2Y12 inhibitors. Thrombocytopenia affects PFT and may determine postoperative bleeding.

Platelet count as a new biomarker for acute kidney injury induced by hemorrhagic shock
Platelets, 2020 The aim of this study was to investigate the association between nadir platelet count and acute kidney injury (AKI) or 28-day all-cause mortality induced by hemorrhagic shock (HS), and to determine the cutoff value of nadir platelet count in HS clinical ...

A meta-analysis and genome-wide association study of platelet count and mean platelet volume in african americans. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2012 Several genetic variants associated with platelet count and mean platelet volume (MPV) were recently reported in people of European ancestry. In this meta-analysis of 7 genome-wide association studies (GWAS) enrolling African Americans, our aim was to ...
