Changes in blood platelet aggregation in two leukaemic patients after receiving large dose of γ-irradiation

This paper presents the results of platelet aggregation determination in two patients with leukaemia after irradiation with large doses of γ-rays. It is shown that in the early days after irradiation an increase of aggregation response appeared. Perhaps it is one of the causes of post-irradiation microcirculatory disturbances. We are inclined to say that the inhibition of platelet aggregation during early days after irradiation would be helpful to alleviate microcirculatory disturbances, thereby the repair of radiation damage might be brought about
