Platelet adhesiveness in diabetes mellitus

Platelet adhesiveness in diabetes mellitus.

Platelet adhesiveness has been assessed on whole blood from a series of 34 diabetics and 50 control subjects using adenosine diphosphate (A.D.P.) and by adherence to glass microspherules (ballotini). Using both techniques it was possible to demonstrate a significant increase in platelet adhesiveness in the diabetic patients.

A study of dyslipidemia and platelet adhesiveness in non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus.

The present study included 50 controls (age 34-64 years) and 50 NIDDM subjects (age 32-72 years) from the diabetic clinic of Government Medical College, Nagpur. It was undertaken with the aim of investigating obesity indices (i.e. body mass index, skin fold thickness, waist hip ratio and % fat in the body); lipid profile (including serum total cholesterol, triglyceride, VLDL, LDL and HDL-choles...

Platelet adhesiveness, plasma fibrinogen, and fibrinolytic activity in juvenile-onset and maturity-onset diabetes mellitus.

The nature of vascular disease and its complications are different in juvenile-onset (JOD) and maturity-onset (MOD) diabetes mellitus. In order to explore the disturbances in the coagulation-fibrinolytic system, platelet adhesiveness, plasma fibrinogen, and euglobulin lysis time were estimated in 26 cases of MOD. Two groups of age- and sex-matched controls were also studied. Platelet adhesivene...

Platelet Adhesiveness

By MURRAY WEINER, M.D., KURT ZELTMACHER, M.D., CARL REICH, M.D., AND SHEPARD SHAPIRO, M.D. I N 1941, Helen Wright’ described a method for estimating the adhesive quality of platelets. Confirmation of the original findings by Spooner and Meyer’ established the procedure as a means of distinguishing this property of platelets. It is the purpose of the present report to evaluate the usefulness of ...
