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.
