Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have an increased risk of thrombosis as well as bleeding episodes. Platelet activation, platelet–leukocyte conjugates and platelet-derived microparticles together with an activation of endothelial cells can all confer pro-thrombotic effects in platelets. Furthermore, platelets can contribute to the inflammatory state in patients with CKD and thus together with their thrombosis promoting effect can also contribute to the increased cardiovascular risk of these patients. The bleeding risk in patients with CKD can be augmented by increased concentrations of uraemic toxins, anaemia and altered endothelial cell function all contributing to an impaired platelet function. However, platelets can also be directly involved in the pathogenesis of renal diseases such as thrombotic microangiopathy, immune complex-mediated renal disease, anti-GBM glomerulonephritis and antibody-mediated rejection after kidney transplantation as they can promote inflammatory responses after their activation. The following chapter gives an overview about the mechanisms involved in thrombosis and bleeding promoting effects of platelets in patients with CKD as well as the mechanisms behind the direct pathogenic effects of platelets in several renal diseases.
