Levels of procoagulant microvesicles are elevated after traumatic injury and platelet microvesicles are negatively correlated with mortality
BACKGROUND Microvesicles (MV) have been implicated in the development of thrombotic disease, such as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and multiple organ failure (MOF). Trauma patients are at increased risk of late thrombotic events, particularly those who receive a major transfusion. The aims of this study were: (a) to determine whether there were increased numbers of pro-coagulant MV...
متن کاملElevated Levels of Procoagulant Plasma Microvesicles in Dialysis Patients
Cardiovascular (CV) death remains the largest cause of mortality in dialysis patients, unexplained by traditional risk factors. Endothelial microvesicles (EMVs) are elevated in patients with traditional CV risk factors and acute coronary syndromes while platelet MVs (PMVs) are associated with atherosclerotic disease states. This study compared relative concentrations of circulating MVs from end...
متن کاملCirculating Microvesicles Are Elevated Acutely following Major Burns Injury and Associated with Clinical Severity
Microvesicles are cell-derived signaling particles emerging as important mediators and biomarkers of systemic inflammation, but their production in severe burn injury patients has not been described. In this pilot investigation, we measured circulating microvesicle levels following severe burns, with severe sepsis patients as a comparator group. We hypothesized that levels of circulating vascul...
متن کاملIntact platelet membranes, not platelet-released microvesicles, support the procoagulant activity of adherent platelets.
The possibility that platelets release microvesicles on adherence to either von Willebrand factor (vWf) or collagen was examined by flow cytometry analysis of the supernatant above layers of adherent platelets. No microvesicle release was detected as a result of adherence to vWf or to collagen, a known platelet agonist. Approximately 8% of the total platelet mass was released as microvesicles a...
متن کاملPathophysiologic significance of procoagulant microvesicles in cancer disease and progression.
Microvesicles (MV) are submicrometric membrane fragments (0.1 to 1 microm), released from the plasma membrane of activated or apoptotic cells. They are characterized by most of the antigenic profile of the cells they originate from, and by the presence of procoagulant phospholipids at their surface. MV are detectable in the peripheral blood of mammals and considered as efficient effectors in th...
