Abnormalities of haemostasis have been implicated in the development of both large and small vessel disease in diabetes. Platelet behaviour and coagulation factors were studied in 28 non-diabetic control subjects and 81 Type 1 diabetic patients with different degrees of albuminuria. Twenty-four (30%) patients had macro- or micro-albuminuria. These patients had elevated levels of beta-thromboglobulin compared with normo-albuminuric patients and control subjects (macro-albuminuric 113 (range 60-314), micro-albuminuric 88 (50-220), normo-albuminuric 55 (13-273), control 52 (18-210) micrograms l-1, p less than 0.001). Similar results were found for platelet factor 4 (macro-albuminuric 57 (9-350), micro-albuminuric 78 (12-205), normo-albuminuric 10 (2-135), control 9 (3-95) micrograms l-1, p less than 0.001). There were decreased beta-thromboglobulin:platelet factor 4 ratios in the albuminuric patients compared with control subjects and normo-albuminuric patients (p less than 0.001). There is abnormal platelet activity in Type 1 diabetic patients with elevated albumin excretion rates.
