Platelet kinetic studies in patients with hyperlipoproteinemia: effects of clofibrate therapy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Studies of platelet and fibrinogen kinetics in 27 patients with hyperlipoproteinemia and 28 control subjects demonstrated shortened platelet survival and increased platelet turnover in seven patients with type III and 10 patients with type IV-V hyperlipoproteinemia (p less than 0.01). There was no correlation between platelet survival time and specific lipid levels, vascular disease, sex or age. Platelet kinetics were not significantly altered from control values in eight patients with familial hypercholesterolemia. Platelet aggregation studies and fibrinogen kinetic measurements did not differ in any of the hyperlipoproteinemic groups of patients from those in control subjects. Despite significant changes in plasma lipids induced by clofibrate, platelet survival was significantly extended only in patients with type IV-V hyperlipoproteinemia (p less than 0.05). These results are consistent with the hypothesis that atherogenesis in patients with types III--V hyperlipoproteinemia may be associated with a process of endothelial desquamation, and type IIa hyperlipoproteinemia may involve nondesquamating endothelial injury.

Platelet survival time was measured (autologous labelling with 51chromium) in 68 men with coronary artery disease (CAD). Survival was shortened slightly (3.2 ± 0.04 days; mean ± SEM) as compared to normal (3.7 ± 0.04 days; N = 18; P < 0.001), and 60% had shortened survival (< 3.3 days). Thirty-seven had hyperlipoproteinemia (36 with Type IV and one with Type III) and platelet survival was short...
متن کاملEffect of clofibrate on intravascular coagulation in hyperlipoproteinemia.
Intravascular coagulation (IVC) was evaluated in 19 patients with type II and 11 with type IV hyperlipoproteinemia before and after clofibrate therapy by measurements of soluble fibrin complexes (SFC) in plasma; fibrinolysis was estimated by quantitation of fibrin (ogen) degradation products in serum. Untreated type II and type IV patients had increased SFC (P less than 0.01). The former also h...

Fibrinogen catabolism was studied by plasma fibrinogen chromatography and other methods in 99 subjects with hyperlipoproteinemia Types IIa, IIb, and IV, and in 24 control subjects with normal blood lipid values. Subjects with either a history of thromboembolic vascular disease or clinical evidence of atherosclerosis were excluded. Type II subjects (i.e., the combined group of Type IIa and IIb s...

Studies were conducted to determine the effects of colestipol hydrochloride, a new bile acid-sequestrant resin, on some of the parameters of cholesterol turnover and metabolism in man. Three normal volunteers and eight hyperlipidemic patients participated in three sets of cholesterol turnover studies carried out at intervals of approximately 1 yr. The effects of colestipol were assessed by comp...
