title: [Retention of platelets in newborns (author's transl)].
abstract: In healthy, 24-72 hour-old newborns, platelet retention is significantly elevated compared to adults. A relationship could not be established between the retention and the erythrocyte count, bilirubin in the serum or the content of energy-rich phosphates in the erythrocytes. The above results indicate that the platelet function in newborns is elevated and/or comparable with the adult norm. The basic cause of the frequent symptoms of hemorrhage during the newborn period cannot be traced back to disturbed thrombocyte function.
