Background: Hypoxia resulting from ascent to high-altitude or pathological states at sea level is known to increase platelet reactivity.
2
Objectives: An increased platelet activation status is present in patients with preeclampsia.
3
Hyperthermia treatment has at times been associated with increased platelet levels in humans.
4
A trend for increased platelet activation and interaction with leukocytes was also observed.
5
At baseline, women had increased platelet aggregation in response to ADP and collagen.
6
Cancer is a chronic inflammatory state which is often associated with increased platelet counts.
7
Coagulation abnormalities, including an increased platelet turnover, are frequently found in patients with cancer.
8
Dilysyl-MDA cross-links were measured in two diseases known to be associated with increased platelet activation.
9
Disease stage and graft type (cord blood) were associated with increased platelet transfusion.
10
HDL infusions may offer a new approach to reducing atherothrombotic events associated with increased platelet production.
11
Nine of 12 patients with thrombocytopenia before azidothymidine was commenced responded with an increased platelet count.
12
Obesity is not associated with increased platelet activation.
13
Additionally, cocaine, a drug commonly abused by HIV-infected individuals, leads to increased platelet activation in humans.
14
In addition, they may explain the clinical observation of an increased platelet turnover in cancer patients.
15
An increased platelet count was seen when a higher dose was used in two of four initial nonresponders.
16
Thus although laser balloon angioplasty results in an improved lumen diameter, it is accompanied by increased platelet deposition.
