Influence of charcoal haemoperfusion on platelet count in acute poisoning and during regular dialysis treatment.
Platelet count did not significantly decrease after charcoal haemoperfusion in patients with acute poisoning and significantly decreased during regular dialysis treatment. Adherent platelets and leucocytes were found on the surface of granules after haemoperfusion using a scanning electron microscope. Decreased platelet count returned to the original level at 48 to 72 hours after charcoal haemoperfusion.
