Objective:
To detect the serum levels of platelet microparticle (PMP), fibronectin (FN), and von Willebrand Factor (vWF) in acute leukemia (AL) patients with thrombocytopenic and to analyze the relationship of the serum levels of PMP, FN and vWF with bleeding degree.
Methods:
One hundred and one newly diagnosed AL patients from May 2014 to May 2017 were enrolled the AL group. According to the WHO standard of bleeding stratification, 101 AL patients were divided into 5 sub groups: 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 score groups; 52 normal persons subjected to physical examination were enrolled in control group. The PMP level was detected by flow cytometry; the FN and vWF levels were detected by ELISA. The levels of PMP, FN and vWF were compared between the AL group and the control group. The serum levels of PMP, FN and vWF were compared according to bleeding degree group. The relationship of bleeding degree with the serum levels of PMP, FN and vWF was analyzed.
Results:
The patients with newly diagnosed acute leukemia aged 18 to 60, and accounted for 61.39%. The degree of bleeding was mainly 1 score, which accounted for 38.61%. The serum levels of PMP, vWF and FN AL groups were significantly higher than those in control group (6.06%±4.38% vs 0.89%±0.50%, 205.82±24.89 vs 58.04±13.35 µg/L, 398.29±46.93 vs 311.37±26.02 µg/L)(P<0.001). The serum levels of PMP, FN and vWF were different among 5 subgroup (P<0.01); the level of PMP and FN were the highest in 0 score group and the lowest in 4 score group; the vWF level was the highest in 4 score groups and the lowest in 0 score group. The bleeding degree in the patients with acute leukemia negatively correlated with PMP level, and positively with NF and vWF levels (r=-0.753, r=0.648, r=0.805).
Conclusion:
According to the relationship of the bleeding degree with serum levels of PMP, FN, vWF in patients, the detection of PMP, vWF and FN levels can help to evaluale the bleeding degree in the patients.
Insights
Serum levels of platelet microparticle (PMP), fibronectin (FN), and von Willebrand Factor (vWF) are elevated in acute leukemia (AL) patients. These markers help evaluate bleeding severity in AL patients.
Area of Science:
- Hematology
- Oncology
- Biochemistry
Background:
- Acute leukemia (AL) is often associated with thrombocytopenia and bleeding complications.
- Understanding hemostatic markers in AL is crucial for managing bleeding risk.
Purpose of the Study:
- To measure serum levels of platelet microparticle (PMP), fibronectin (FN), and von Willebrand Factor (vWF) in acute leukemia patients.
- To correlate these marker levels with the degree of bleeding in AL patients.
Main Methods:
- 101 newly diagnosed AL patients and 52 healthy controls were enrolled.
- Serum PMP, FN, and vWF levels were quantified using flow cytometry and ELISA.
- Bleeding severity was stratified using the WHO bleeding score.
Main Results:
- AL patients exhibited significantly higher serum PMP, FN, and vWF levels compared to controls (P<0.001).
- PMP and FN levels were highest in patients with no bleeding (0 score) and lowest in those with severe bleeding (4 score).
- vWF levels showed an inverse pattern, being highest in patients with severe bleeding (4 score).
- Bleeding degree negatively correlated with PMP (r=-0.753) and positively with FN (r=0.648) and vWF (r=0.805).
Conclusions:
- Serum PMP, FN, and vWF levels are significantly altered in acute leukemia patients.
- These markers demonstrate a strong correlation with bleeding severity, suggesting their utility in clinical assessment.
- Measuring PMP, vWF, and FN levels can aid in evaluating bleeding degree in AL patients.
