Abstract |
The thrombocytic beta-thromboglobulin (beta-TG) level--a specific globulin secreted by the alpha-granules--is an important criterion in the contemporary diagnosis of acquired thrombocytopathies. The beta-TG was determined by the radioimmunologic test of the firm "Amersham" in thrombocytic lysates and thrombocyte-poor plasma of 54 persons: 24 patients with acute leukemia, 14 patients with chronic myeloid leukemia and 15 healthy controls. The leukemic patients were with a preliminary proved thrombocytopathy type "empty thrombocytic pool disease" which had been proved via aggregation measurement by the ATP and ADP levels in the thrombocytes and by the thrombocytic factor 4 level. While the intraplatelet beta-TG concentration in acute leukemia and chronic myeloid leukemia was found unchanged, in the patients with acute leukemia its secretion in the plasma was decreased (154.71 + 16.77 ng/10(5) platelets). The data interpretation shows that in these malignant hemopathies the alpha-granules do not take part in the "empty pool disease". In acute leukemia the pathogenesis of the thrombocytopathy is determined by the so-called "thrombocytic secretion paresis" which is confirmed by the thrombocytic factor 4 low level.
