Abnormal platelet aggregation in chronic symptomatic diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

P E Jennings, K J Dallinger, S Nightingale

    Diabetic Medicine : a Journal of the British Diabetic Association
    |May 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Diabetic neuropathy is linked to increased platelet aggregation, even without other complications. This finding suggests platelet changes are an early sign of microangiopathy in diabetes, impacting disease progression and treatment.

    Diabetic medicine : a journal of the British Diabetic Association·2015

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Vascular Biology
    • Diabetology

    Background:

    • Diabetic nephropathy and retinopathy stem from microangiopathy.
    • Platelet aggregation is elevated in diabetics with nephropathy and retinopathy.
    • The role of microangiopathy in diabetic neuropathy is debated.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate in vitro platelet aggregation in diabetic neuropathy.
    • To determine if increased platelet aggregation in neuropathy is independent of other microvascular complications.
    • To explore the association between neuropathy, retinopathy, and platelet activity.

    Main Methods:

    • In vitro platelet aggregation assays using adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and adrenaline.
    • Study groups included diabetics with neuropathy alone, neuropathy with retinopathy, retinopathy alone, and uncomplicated diabetics.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Comparison of peak platelet aggregation responses across groups.

    • Main Results:

    • Diabetics with neuropathy alone exhibited significantly increased platelet aggregation to ADP and adrenaline compared to uncomplicated diabetics.
    • The elevated platelet aggregation in neuropathy patients was comparable to that observed in patients with severe retinopathy.
    • Increased platelet aggregation was evident even in the absence of other diabetic microvascular complications.

    Conclusions:

    • Increased platelet aggregation is associated with established diabetic microangiopathy.
    • Elevated platelet aggregation is present in diabetic neuropathy patients without other complications.
    • These findings suggest potential pathogenic and therapeutic implications of platelet activity in diabetic neuropathy.
