[Changes in blood coagulation in diabetic nephropathy].
Investigations on certain hemocoagulation indices are carried out of 52 diabetics, 32 of them with diabetic nephropathy. The following indices were determined: thrombocyte numer, thrombocyte adhesion and aggregation, recalcification and heparinrecalcification time, partial thromboplastin time (PTT) and prothrombin time, coagulation retraction and thrombelastography. Data for increased blood coagulation are established in diabetics and especially in the presence of nephropathy. Most manifested are the changes in thrombocyte adhesion, in PTT, recalcification and heparin-recalcification time. Changes in thrombelastogram and the rest of the indices are less manifested. In patients with more advanced forms of nephropathy--the increased hemocoagulation is more pronounced. The changes described are considered non diabetes specific and are associated with the accompanying atherosclerosis. Those changes might indicate inclusion of anticoagulants and antiaggregating medicines in the therapeutic program of patients with diabetic nephropathy with the respective indications.
