[Quantitative changes in peripheral blood thrombocytes in chronic alcoholics and experimental alcoholic intoxication
Abstract:
The time course of changes in peripheral-blood platelet count was examined in 129 alcoholics and 22 alcohol-intoxicated rats. The data obtained point to the existence of cause-and-effect relationships between the thrombocytopenia and thrombocytosis observed in various periods of abstinence on the one hand, and blood coagulation disturbances manifesting themselves in the forms of hemorrhages, thromboses and embolism, on the other.
