Patients with the bleeding disorder called immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) harbor antibodies that sabotage production of the platelets responsible for proper blood clotting. More than 35 percent of donated blood platelets -- used to stem internal bleeding and clot the blood of cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy -- come from out of state because people in Los Angeles are too busy to give the Vampire an hour. Platelets are believed to play an important role in primary hemostasis, wound healing, and re-epithelialization. |
