SPS is characterized by platelet hyperreactivity and is associated with arterial and venous thrombosis. The aim of this study was to determine the role of SPS in patients with uninduced venous thrombosis. Material and Methods: The study included 28 patients (15 male and 13 female) with uninduced venous thrombosis. SPS was defined according to Mammen's aggregation method, which is described in detail elsewhere. Results: According to the defined ranges for platelet hyperreactivity, 3 (50%) patients, 2 (33%), and 1 (17%) (n =6 [21%]) with a confirmed diagnosis were classified as type II, I, and III SPS, respectively. In 1 patient SPS was the only hereditary abnormality noted. The other 5 patients carried other inherited coagulation defects, in addition to SPS. Conclusion: The present findings indicate that the prevalence of SPS was 21% in the patients with uninduced venous thrombosis. We therefore suggest that SPS should be considered in the differential diagnosis of such cases.en10.5152/tjh.2011.79info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessVenous ThrombosisBlood Platelet DisordersPlatelet AggregationPlatelet Function TestsArterialArticle3014852Q4WOS:0003162390000092-s2.0-8487486538124385753Q3153148
