Resumo
Platelets play a special role in the occurrence of thrombosis in case of COVID-19, as they are involved in maintaining the integrity of blood vessels, regulating hemostasis, and in the process of inflammation.
The aim: to estimate the platelet component of hemostasis in patients with COVID-19.
Materials and methods. Case-control study included 75 patients: group 1 – with COVID-19 (n = 25), group 2 – with COVID-19 and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) (n = 25), group 3 – with ACS without COVID-19 (n = 25). Blood samples were analyzed by a Mindray BC-6800 Plus analyzer. Platelet aggregation with inducers was assessed using a ChronoLog 700 analyzer.
Results. Mean platelet volume (MPV) in group 1 was 11.0 (10.4 ÷ 11.9), in group 2 – 10.8 (10.3 ÷ 11.5), in group 3 – 10.2 (9.8 ÷ 10.7) fl (p < 0.001). Platelet distribution width (PDW) in group 1 was 13.1 (12.0 ÷ 14.5), in group 2 – 12.4 (11.7 ÷ 14.4), in group 3 – 11.9 (11.2 ÷ 12.5) % (p = 0.028), large platelet coefficient (P-LCR) – 33.5 (28.0 ÷ 39.7), 31.7 (26.8 ÷ 37.3) and 27.2 (24.7 ÷ 29.8) %, respectively (p = 0.002). Ratio of the absolute platelet count to the absolute lymphocyte count (PLR) was as follows: in group 1 – 163.4 (100.8 ÷ 237.1), in group 2 – 131.2 (103.5 ÷ 173.1), in group 3 – 113.1 (78.7 ÷ 129.5) (p = 0.019). Platelet aggregation with adenosine diphosphate in group 1 was 61.0 (56.0 ÷ 66.0), in group 2 – 48.5 (28.0 ÷ 57.0), in group 3 – 28.0 (22.0 ÷ 39.0) % (p < 0.001), platelet aggregation with collagen – 65.5 (61.5 ÷ 72.0), 57.0 (41.0 ÷ 67.5) and 54.0 (42.0 ÷ 57.0) %, respectively (p < 0.001), and platelet aggregation with epinephrine – 58.8 (53.0 ÷ 65.0), 40.0 (24.5 ÷ 55.0) and 21.0 (15.0 ÷ 30.0) %, respectively (p < 0.001).
Conclusion. Higher values of MPV, PDW, P-LCR, PLR, platelet aggregation with inducers indicate obvious activation and reactivity of platelets due to the immune-inflammatory component in individuals with COVID-19. Obtained data indicate a significant influence of SARS-CoV-2 at the functional activity of platelets.
