Thrombocyte functions, thrombelastograms and fibrinogen of healthy children in different age groups.
Platelet counts, adhesiveness, aggregation and spreading capacity, as well as the thrombopoiesis index, thrombelastogram and fibrinogen were examined in 74 healthy children aged from 2 to 14 years. Sex-linked differences were only found in the thrombopoiesis index. Age-linked differences showed in practically all the parameters, especially in the platelet counts, fibrinogen and thrombelastograms.
