[Behavior of the heparinocytes after gold therapy].
A reduction of the total leukocytes as well as a significant decrease of heparinocytes and BAI (basophilic age index) can be observed in rheumatoid arthritis in the course of a gold therapy. As some coagulation parameters simultaneously speak in favour of an enhancement of the intravasal coagulation, a partial blocking of the endogenous heparin caused by gold may be supposed. A combined heparin or heparinoid therapy in a low dosage is being recommended for risk patients of the vascular and coagulation system.
