Platelet storage pool deficiency is a type of coagulopathy characterized by defects in the granules in platelets, particularly a lack of granular non-metabolic adenosine diphosphate.[3] Individuals with adenosine diphosphate deficient storage pool disease present a prolonged bleeding time due to impaired aggregation response to fibrillar collagen.[citation needed]

Symptoms and signs

Anemia

The presentation (signs/symptoms) of an individual with platelet storage pool deficiency is as follows:[1]

Cause

Hairy cell leukemia

The condition of platelet storage pool deficiency can be acquired or inherited (genetically passed on from the individuals parents[4]).[1] Some of the causes of platelet storage pool deficiency when acquired are:[1]

  • Hairy-cell leukemia
  • Cardiovascular
    bypass

Mechanism

Platelet structure

In terms of the pathophysiology of platelet storage pool deficiency one must consider several factors including the human body's normal function prior to such a deficiency, such as platelet alpha-granules[citation needed] one of three types of platelet secretory granule[5]

Platelet α–granules are important in platelet activity, α–granules connect with

plasma membrane. This in turn increases the size of the platelet. Platelet α–granules have an important role in hemostasis as well as thrombosis. SNARE accessory proteins control the secretion of α–granule.[5]

Diagnosis

On for example optical densitometry, a first and second wave of platelet aggregation is seen, in this case for an ADP-initiated aggregation. The second wave is absent in platelet storage pool deficiency.

The diagnosis of this condition can be done via the following:[1]

Platelet aggregation function by disorders and agonists   edit
ADP Epinephrine Collagen Ristocetin
P2Y receptor defect[6] (including Clopidogrel) Decreased Normal Normal Normal
Adrenergic receptor defect[6] Normal Decreased Normal Normal
Collagen receptor defect[6] Normal Normal Decreased or absent Normal
Normal Normal Normal Decreased or absent
Decreased Decreased Decreased Normal or decreased
Storage pool deficiency[7] Absent second wave Partial
Aspirin or aspirin-like disorder Absent second wave Absent Normal

Types

This condition may involve the alpha granules or the dense granules.[8] Therefore, the following examples include:

Flow cytometry analysis

Treatment

Platelet storage pool deficiency has no treatment however management consists of

NSAIDS[1][2]
