The Effect of Different Doses of Aspirin on Platelet Function and Its Clinical Importance / 中国实验血液学杂志

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to investigate the initial time of platelet inhibiting effect of aspirin (ASA) and the effects of different doses on equilibrium of prostacyclin (PGI(2))-thromboxane B(2) (TXB(2)). The effects of 100 mg and 300 mg ASA on Platelet count, platelet aggregation rate, TXB(2) and PGI(2) were investigated using cross-compare way for 40 aspirin ingestion patients. The results showed that the platelet counts decreased to 33% after 30 minutes of single-dose ASA ingestion of 100 mg and to 25.6% after 60 minutes. TXB(2) and PGI(2) also decreased meanwhile. The platelet counts decreased to 39.5%, 35.5% and 26.6%, respectively with dose of 300 mg on day 1, 2 and 3. The platelet counts decreased to 38.1% and 39.5%, respectively, after 120 minutes with 100 and 300 mg ASA ingestion, without significent difference. In conclusion ASA began to inhibit platelet function after 30 minutes of ingestion, and gave the strongest inhibition after 60 minutes. Continuous ASA ingestion accumulates the inhibitory effect. The single-dose ASA ingestion of 100 and 300 mg have nearly the same inhibitory effects.
