ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:
We explored the effect on haemostasis of different factor IX (FIX) concentrates under thrombocytopenic conditions using an in vitro perfusion technique. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
A moderate experimental thrombocytopenia (25 000-30 000 platelets/microl) was induced by means of a filtration procedure in blood anticoagulated with low-molecular-weight heparin. The effects of three different FIX concentrates - a prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC), an intermediate-purity concentrate (FIX/X), and a high-purity concentrate (HPFIX) - on platelet deposition and fibrin formation on subendothelium were assessed at two different shear rates (600/second and 1200/second). Activation of the coagulation system was monitored through assessment of prothrombin activation fragment 1 + 2 (F1 + 2).RESULTS:
Fibrin deposition increased after addition of FIX concentrates, but only showed a significant increase in experiments performed after incubation of PCC at the lower shear rate (600/second) (64.25 +/- 9.61% vs. control 31.22 +/- 8.02%; P < 0.05). Addition of FIX concentrates caused a small increase in the percentage of platelet deposition and area of those aggregates. These differences reached levels of statistical significance in the presence of FIX/X and HPFIX in experiments performed at a shear rate of 600/second. F1 + 2 baseline values in anticoagulated thrombocytopenic blood were 1.15 +/- 0.13 nm and reached levels of 2.49 +/- 0.24 and 3.60 +/- 0.33 nm at shear rates of 600 and 1200/second, respectively. Increments in F1 + 2 observed after addition of different FIX concentrates always remained in the previous ranges.CONCLUSIONS:
Data from the present study provide experimental support favouring the concept that FIX concentrates containing other activated factors could improve haemostasis under conditions of moderate thrombocytopenia.
