dc.description.abstract | Background: Individuals with kidney failure have a compromised haemostatic system making them susceptible to both thrombosis and bleeding. | en_GB |
dc.description.abstract | Objectives: Assessment of primary haemostasis in patients treated with either haemodialysis (HD) or haemodiafiltration (HDF) was performed through the measurement of several coagulation-based tests, both pre- and post-dialysis. | en_GB |
dc.description.abstract | Patients/methods: 41 renal failure patients and 40 controls were recruited. Platelet aggregometry, Factor XIII (FXIII), Fibrinogen, Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) and Soluble P-Selectin (sP-Sel) levels were measured. | en_GB |
dc.description.abstract | Results: Maximum platelet aggregation was diminished in renal patients irrespective of aspirin intake. Post-dialysis, platelet function was exacerbated. Pre-dialysis FXIII levels were similar to the healthy cohort and became elevated post-dialysis. This elevation could not be explained by the relative decrease of water by dialysis. Fibrinogen levels were already elevated pre-dialysis and further increased post-dialysis. This elevation was associated with the relative decrease of water by dialysis. VWF levels in males were similar to the healthy cohort and became elevated post-dialysis. This elevation was associated with dialysis-related water loss. VWF antigen and activity in female patients were already elevated pre-dialysis and further increased post-dialysis with the exception of VWF activity in HDF treated female patients. sP-Sel levels were lower than those of the healthy cohort and became similar to the healthy cohort post-dialysis. This elevation could not be explained by the relative decrease of water by dialysis. | en_GB |
dc.description.abstract | Conclusions: Whilst platelet aggregometry was diminished, we noted elevated clotting factors such as fibrinogen, FXIII and VWF with no significant differences between HD and HDF-treated patients. | en_GB |
