title: [Evaluation of pressure and mechanical effects on the aggregation of human platelets induced by adenosine diphosphate in a system simulating a dialysis circuit].
abstract: Blood samples in sodium citrate 3.8% (ratio 1:10) of 15 healthy people were subjected to the pressure of 0, 50, 150 mm Hg respectively in a circuit operated by a peristaltic pump as during dialysis. The platelet aggregation induced by adenosine diphosphate (ADP) was determined in all cases. We found a significant reduction of the maximum percent aggregation of the samples exposed to the pressure of 150 mm Hg. We then suppose that a positive correlation exists between high pressure in the dialytic circuit and platelet damage.
