摘要
We studied platelet number and function in nine anaemic children with end-stage renal disease during a clinical trial with recombinant human erythropoietin (rHu-EPO). All the children showed a correction in both haematocrit and haemoglobin levels which was followed by a significant reduction in bleeding time. We also observed a significant increase in platelet count after both 6 and 12 weeks of therapy; at the same time mean platelet volume decreased and a normal platelet mass was maintained. The mean baseline platelet aggregation response to ADP was normal, but was decreased to collagen (P < 0.05 vs normal control). Platelet production of thromboxane B2 in serum was also lower than normal controls. After correction of anaemia with rHu-EPO, platelet aggregation improved in patients with a decreased baseline response, and mean levels of thromboxane B2 became normal. In conclusion, the treatment with rHu-EPO improved haemostatic balance not only by correcting anaemia, but also by increasing platelet count and function.
