Abstract

Clot structure is greatly influenced by a number of factors in vivo, calcium concentration being one of them. A pilot study with 10 healthy individuals was performed to investigate the effect of added calcium, in combination with plasma platelet concentrati on, on the turbidity of clots. Using a UV - Vis spectrophotometer, absorbance of both platelet - rich and platelet - poor clots was taken at 405 nm, in the presence as well as the absence of added calcium. A 9.93% increase in the maximum absorbance is observed for PRP with added calcium while a 7.68% increase was observed for PPP. Also, PRP clots reported higher absorbance than PPP clots both with (16.48%) and without (14.10%) calcium. It was also observed in parallel that platelet concentration also affe cted turbidity of the clots with & without added calcium.
