Evaluation of Platelets Count and Indices in Pre-Eclampsia Compared to Normal Pregnancies

Abstract: Background/Aim: Pre-eclampsia (PE) and eclampsia are major obstetric problem in developing countries and remains an important cause of maternal mortality worldwide. The study aimed to evaluate/compare the platelet count and platelet indices in pre-eclampsia and normal pregnancies Methods: This prospective case control study was conducted in Khartoum state at Omdurman Maternity Hospital, during the period from March to June 2016. Pregnant women (N/87) with 28 weeks' gestation or more who attended at antenatal … Show more

“…However, the onset of PE, in particular sPE, mainly results in complex disorders in the endogenous but not exogenous coagulative pathway, which results in the consumption of platelets and fibrinogen, with subsequent feedback activation of thrombopoiesis and fibrinolysis. Therefore, in the late pregnancy, PE patients present with a superhypercoagulable state along with the prolongation of APTT and TT, the augmentation of D-dimer (DD) and the enlargement of mean platelet volume (MPV) [23,24].…”

“…Adicionalmente, algunos autores han observado que la preeclamsia causa una función placentaria insuficiente, disfunción endotelial materna, hipoxia feto-placentaria, aumento de las resistencias vasculares periféricas, entre otros (6,7). Estas alteraciones causadas por la enfermedad generan habitualmente un aumento en el consumo de plaquetas y activación de las mismas, así como formación de microtrombos y coagulación intravascular diseminada (8)(9)(10)(11). Por tanto, la respuesta de la médula ósea al tratar de compensar el consumo, es crear más plaquetas, de manera apresurada y de mayor tamaño (4).…”

“…Una manera de cuantificar este efecto es mediante la medición del volumen plaquetario medio (VPM), el cual aumenta a medida que se incrementa el tamaño plaquetario, y ancho de distribución de plaquetas (ADP), el cual indica la heterogeneidad entre los tamaños de las células (10,11).…”
