Hemostatic effects of salsalate in normal subjects and patients with hemophilia A
1Hemophilia Center of Western New York, Buffalo.
Salsalate in a non-acetylated salicylate with activity as an antirheumatic agent. The hemostatic effects of this agent were studied in twelve healthy subjects and nine patients with hemophilia A. Healthy subjects showed no change in bleeding time, platelet aggregation response to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) or collagen, or adenosine triphosphate (ATP) release in response to arachidonic acid as measured in an impedance whole blood lumi-aggregometer. The patients with hemophilia A showed no bleeding time prolongation nor an effect on ADP or collagen induced platelet aggregation in platelet rich plasma. It is concluded that this agent may be useful in the treatment of arthritis in patients with hereditary coagulation disorders.

Introduction to Hemostasis
The three phases of hemostasis involve many clotting factors present in plasma and several substances released by platelets and injured tissue cells. It is a fast, localized, and...
Formation of the Platelet Plug
As the injured blood vessel contracts, endothelial cells undergo contraction, revealing collagen fibers in the basement membrane and underlying connective tissue. Furthermore, the plasma membrane of endothelial cells becomes adhesive, preparing the site for platelet adhesion. Platelets...
Extrinsic and Intrinsic Pathways of Hemostasis
The Extrinsic Pathway
The extrinsic pathway of coagulation is typically initiated by tissue damage that exposes blood to tissue factor (TF), a protein released by the damaged tissue cells outside the blood vessels—this interaction with TF triggers biochemical reactions involving specific clotting factors. The key player here is Factor VII, which forms a...
