Shortened platelet survival in acute promyelocytic leukemia
The Tohoku Journal of Experimental Medicine
|October 1, 1979
Abstract:
A platelet kinetic study in 2 patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) associated with disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) demonstrated that the platelet survival was characteristically shortened. These findings suggest increased platelet consumption during the process of DIC in APL.
