Immature Platelet Count

Comparison of Immature Platelet Count to Established Predictors of Platelet Reactivity During Thienopyridine Therapy.

BACKGROUND Previous data suggest that reticulated platelets significantly affect antiplatelet response to thienopyridines. It is unknown whether parameters describing reticulated platelets can predict antiplatelet response to thienopyridines. OBJECTIVES The authors sought to determine the extent to which parameters describing reticulated platelets can predict antiplatelet response to thienopy...

Platelet count and aging.

The platelet count in pregnancy.

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.

Intravenous thrombolysis and platelet count.

OBJECTIVE To study the effect of platelet count (PC) on bleeding risk and outcome in stroke patients treated with IV thrombolysis (IVT) and to explore whether withholding IVT in PC < 100 × 109/L is supported. METHODS In this prospective multicenter, IVT register-based study, we compared PC with symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH; Second European-Australasian Acute Stroke Study [ECASS I...

Platelet count in malaria patients.

BACKGROUND Malaria is a major health problem in the tropics with high morbidity and mortality. This study is conducted to analyse the effects of malaria on platelets. METHODS This prospective study was conducted on 200 diagnosed cases of malaria in Department of Medicine, LUMHS, Jamshoro/Hyderabad from February to December 2010. The diagnosis of malaria was carried out by thin and thick blood...
