چکیده

Platelet kinetic studies in idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) have shown that in a subgroup of patients a shortened mean platelet life (MPL) is associated with a decreased platelet production rate (PPR). Other methods of studying certain aspects of thrombocytopoiesis are the plasma concentrations of thrombopoietin and glycocalicin.

Diagnostic value of tests for reticulated platelets, plasma glycocalicin, and thrombopoietin levels for discriminating between hyperdestructive and hypoplastic thrombocytopenia.

We measured reticulated platelets (RPs) and plasma glycocalicin (GC) and thrombopoietin (TPO) levels simultaneously in 107 thrombocytopenic patients to clarify the diagnostic value of these tests for discriminating hyperdestructive from hypoplastic thrombocytopenia. The percentage of RPs and GC index (plasma GC level normalized for the individual platelet count) were markedly elevated in patien...

Platelet production and destruction in liver cirrhosis.

BACKGROUND & AIMS Thrombocytopenia is common in liver cirrhosis (LC) but the mechanisms are not fully understood. The purpose of our work was to evaluate platelet kinetics in LC with different etiologies by examining platelet production and destruction. METHODS Ninety-one consecutive LC patients (36 HCV, 49 alcoholics, 15 HBV) were enrolled. As controls, 25 subjects with idiopathic thrombocyt...

Bernard-Soulier syndrome or idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura: A case series

Background: Bernard-Soulier syndrome (BSS) is a rare, autosomal recessive platelet function disorder which is commonly mistaken for idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP).The report includes seven cases of BSS that have been diagnosed and treated as ITP for a long time. Methods: Between 2006 and 2016, data of seven BSS patients who have long been diagnosed and treated as ITP were collected ...

Evaluating the Prognostic Significance of Bone Marrow Megakaryocyte Count in Patients with Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura

Background: Previous studies about the relationship between bone marrow megakaryocyte count and the chronicity of ITP has yielded paradoxical results. The aim of the present study was to investigate any relationship between the megakaryocyte count in the bone marrow and the chronicity of ITP. Materials and Methods: This study was performed to compare the primary bone marrow aspiration megakar...
