The possible association of in vivo leukocyte-platelet heterophilic aggregate formation and the development of diabetic angiopathy

Abstract excerpt

Circulating leukocyte-platelet heterophilic aggregates produce procoagulant, oxidative and mitogenic substances, and can cause microembolism in capillaries as well as acute arterial thrombosis. Our aim was to determine if there was any difference in the number of circulating heterophilic aggregates between diabetic patients and controls, if the formation of aggregates correlated with the actual HgbA1c level,...
