Cytogenetic studies in patients treated with penicillamine.

Cytogenetic studies were performed on bone-marrow cells from 11 patients with rheumatoid arthritis treated with penicillamine. One of the patients was studied while developing a granulocytopenia and thrombocytopenia. The findings show that penicillamine had no chromosome-damaging effect as estimated by the micronucleus test and by the number of structural chromosomal aberrations.

Platelets and platelet function in patients with chronic uremia on maintenance hemodialysis.

In 20 chronic uremic patients on maintenance hemodialysis, who were not taking any medication known to affect platelet function, the following investigations were carried out: platelet count, fibrin/fibrinogen degradation products, fibrinogen and plasminogen concentration, platelet adhesiveness, clot retraction and platelet aggregation induced by ADP, ristocetin, fibrinogen, collagen and epinephrine. The only significant abnormal result was a decreased clot retraction. We consider many cases of so-called uremic bleeding to be caused by the medication taken and conclude that on well-controlled hemodialysis treatment, bleeding tendency should not be a major problem.

Platelet dysfunction in patients with vitamin B12 deficiency.

10 cases of pernicious anaemia are reported in which 6 had abnormal aggregation with epinephrine, 3 with fibrinogen, 2 with ADP, and 2 with ristocetin. 5 patients had thrombocytopenia and 3 of these had a prolongation of the bleeding time. These abnormalities were normalized after vitamin B12 treatment. After treatment, platelet size changed toward a smaller diameter, but platelet size, however, was not significantly different from the normal platelet size distribution.
