Abstract:
:Platelet activation was assessed in hospitalized third-trimester patients with preeclampsia (n = 11) or chronic hypertension with superimposed preeclampsia (n = 11) and in healthy outpatient pregnant controls (n = 10) by measuring plasma beta-thromboglobulin, platelet factor 4, the platelet aggregate ratio, and the amount of collagen required to produce half-maximal aggregation velocity (Kd). Only plasma beta-thromboglobulin levels differed significantly between patients with preeclampsia (50.1 +/- 37.9; p less than 0.05) or chronic hypertension with superimposed preeclampsia (47.6 +/- 16.3; p less than 0.01) and the control subjects (22.5 +/- 11.3). beta-Thromboglobulin values in patients with preeclampsia, but not chronic hypertension with superimposed preeclampsia, correlated directly with 24-hour urinary protein loss (r = 0.93, p less than 0.001) and serum creatinine levels (r = 0.62, p less than 0.05) and inversely with creatinine clearance (r = 0.60, p = 0.05). We conclude that (1) beta-thromboglobulin is elevated in patients with preeclampsia or chronic hypertension with superimposed preeclampsia, (2) the normal platelet aggregate ratio and the Kd indicate that the increase in beta-thromboglobulin is not due to an intrinsic change in platelet responsiveness, and (3) the elevation of beta-thromboglobulin in patients with either preeclampsia or chronic hypertension with superimposed preeclampsia appears to be secondary to platelet consumption in the microvasculature, although in patients with preeclampsia altered renal function may be contributory.
