Alteration in Thrombogenic Parameters as a Potential Ramification of High Altitude Influence on Individuals

Abstract

The peculiarity of alteration in platelet indices among other physiological changes on adaptation to high altitude is controversial. This review has revealed insufficient information about how changes in platelet indices can be attributed as a consequence of high-altitude terrain. Further clinical trials are necessary to understand the potential relation between high altitude and changes in thrombocytes and their activity.
