Platelet function was measured on 29 occasions in 16 adult patients in the asymptomatic steady state of sickle-cell anemia. There was a significant increase in platelet number and microaggregate formation, and a lower aggregation threshold with ADP, compared with 23 healthy controls. Similar changes were found, however, in 12 splenectomized patients without sickle-cell disease. The platelet hyperactivity of the sickle-cell steady state therefore reflects an increased circulating population of young, metabolically active platelets resulting from previous autosplenectomy.
