Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To explore the clinical significance of platelet membrane glycoprotein (GPIIb/IIIa) detection by flow cytometry (FCM) combined with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in diagnosis and treatment of immune thrombocytopenia(ITP).
METHODS:Fifty-two patients with immunological thrombocytopenia admitted to the Department of Hematology in our hospital during October 2014-October 2018 were enrolled in ITP group. Thirty healthy people from the physical examination center were enrolled in control group. The positive expression rate of platelet membrane glycoprotein was measured by FCM, and the peripheral platelet count was detected by automatic analyzer, and the plasma membrane glycoprotein level was measured by ELISA. The difference between the two groups was compared. The platelet membrane glycoprotein levels in ITP patients before and after treatment were compared.
RESULTS:The positive expression rate of GPIIb/IIIa (i,e CD41/CD61) and plasma GPIIb/IIIa levels in ITP patients were significantly lower than those in the healthy controls. The increased expression of platelet GPIIb/IIIa was associated with the response to therapy. The positive expression rate and level of GPIIb/IIIa postively correlated with its platelet count. The sensitivity of platelet GPIIb/IIIa combined with platelet count for diagnosis of ITP was 90.38%, the specificity was 93.33%, the positive likelihood ratio was 13.57, and the positive predictive value was 95.92%.
CONCLUSION:The platelet membrane glycoprotein detection as a preliminary screening method used for diagnosis of immune thrombocytopenia is simple, convenient, sensitive and rapid, thus may be considered as a new method for clinical diagnosis.
