Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Excess platelet activation (e.g. increased soluble P selectin [sPsel] and beta thromboglobulin [beta-TG]) is well established in sickle cell disease (SCD) and may contribute to the prothrombotic/hypercoagulable state and vascular occlusion characteristic of the disease. We hypothesised altered whole platelet P-selectin (pPsel), and morphological platelet indices mass, volume and component...
