Bleeding in renal failure: altered platelet function in chronic uraemia only partially corrected by haemodialysis. 1978

G Remuzzi, and M Livio, and G Marchiaro, and G Mecca, and G de Gaetano

Bleeding time, blood loss and platelet retention by glass beads, measured by standardized techniques, were significantly altered in a group of 30 non-thrombocytopenic patients with chronic renal failure undergoing maintenance haemodialysis. Bleeding time or blood loss did not correlate with platelet retention either before or after haemodialysis. No correlation could be found between the above tests and a number of biochemical parameters characterizing the uraemic condition. Haemodialysis only partially corrected the abnormal bleeding time, blood loss and platelet retention. These tests were still significantly different after haemodialysis from those of 30 normal subjects. It is suggested that some non-dialyzable material could play an important role in the aetiology of uraemic bleeding.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.

D002908 Chronic Disease Diseases which have one or more of the following characteristics: they are permanent, leave residual disability, are caused by nonreversible pathological alteration, require special training of the patient for rehabilitation, or may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation, or care (Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed). For epidemiological studies chronic disease often includes HEART DISEASES; STROKE; CANCER; and diabetes (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2).
