Abstract:Plasma levels of the platelet markers P-thromboglobulin (P-TG) and platelet factor 4 (PF,) are among the most sophisticated indexes of biocompatibility available to evaluate new members for hemodialysis. This investigation was designed to determine the extent of platelet activation by measuring the a-granule release products, P-TG and PF,; anticoagulation and thrombogenesis by monitoring plasma heparin; and fibrinopeptide A (FPA) and thromboxane B2 (TX B2) levels during treatment with a combined hemodialysis-h… Show more
