To further define the platelet abnormality responsible for uremic bleeding, we studied platelet aggregation with adenosine diphosphate, ristocetin, and collagen in serum fractions obtained by Sephadex G-15 chromatography. We found that uremic patients had considerable inhibition in several peaks of middle molecular range, but the findings were inconsistent and not clearly related to the degree of uremia.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
