Inhibition of Platelet Function by Uremic Middle Molecules

Abstract
To further define the platelet abnormality responsible for uremic bleeding, we studied platelet aggregation with adenosine diphosphate, ristocetin, and collagen in serum fractions obtained by Sephadex G-15 chromatography. We found that uremic patients had considerable inhibition in several peaks of middle molecular range, but the findings were inconsistent and not clearly related to the degree of uremia.
