| Abstract | Thrombelastography (TEG) is used as a point-of-care test of hemostasis. Different components of the test tracing are considered to reflect various parts of the hemostatic system and to distinguish low platelet count, platelet dysfunction or both from lack of plasmatic coagulation factors. To analyze the influence of one single element of the coagulation system, namely the platelet count, we used TEG serially in patients with well documented transient thrombocytopenia. A total of 189 TEG analyses were performed from 16 patients with a hematological malignancy in remission, receiving consolidation courses of chemotherapy. TEG outcomes using unmanipulated and citrated blood samples at a median of 11 times (range 1-17) in the same patients during the decrease of platelet count in response to chemotherapy were compared with outcomes in 120 healthy adults from various age categories. We found a correlation (r = 0.7, P < 0.001) between TEG clot strength (maximum amplitude) and platelet count. Moreover, platelet count was correlated respectively with the initial rate of clot formation (reaction time and clotting time), the rate of clot growth (alpha angle), and also with maximum thrombus generation, time to maximum thrombus generation and total thrombus generation. We conclude that platelet count not only affects the strength of clot formation, as was expected, but also all other phases of plasmatic coagulation. Citration of the blood sample, aiming at easy storage of the material, masked some of the important biological parameters of coagulation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
