Platelet Counts and Platelet Activation Markers in Obese Subjects
OBJECTIVE In this work we studied the correlation between platelet count, platelet activation, and systemic inflammation in overweight, obese, and morbidly obese individuals. METHODS AND SUBJECTS A total of 6319 individuals participated in the study. Complete blood counts, high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) serum levels, and body mass index (BMI) were measured during routine checkup...
متن کاملPlatelet counts and its course for predicting in-hospital mortality in intensive care unit
Background & Aims: Recent studies have shown that thrombocytopenia (TP) is associated with poor outcomes in patients with pneumonia, burns, and H1N1 influenza. The aim of this study is to determine the impact of platelet count trends and TP on mortality in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Materials & Methods: TP was defined as <150,000 platelets/ml. In this study, 300 patients who had been ...

متن کاملReproducibility of Manual Platelet Estimation Following Automated Low Platelet Counts.
OBJECTIVES Manual platelet estimation is one of the methods used when automated platelet estimates are very low. However, the reproducibility of manual platelet estimation has not been adequately studied. We sought to assess the reproducibility of manual platelet estimation following automated low platelet counts and to evaluate the impact of the level of experience of the person counting on th...
متن کاملPlatelet PAR1 receptor density--correlation to platelet activation response and changes in exposure after platelet activation.
INTRODUCTION A polymorphism (-14 A/T) affecting PAR1 expression on the platelet surface has recently been identified. A two-fold variation in receptor density, which correlated with the platelet response to PAR1-activating peptide (PAR1-AP), has been reported. MATERIALS AND METHODS We used flow cytometry to measure the correlation between the number of PAR1 receptors and platelet activation. ...
