Abstract

A sixty-year-old female patient was admitted to our cardiovascular surgery department for coronary bypass surgery. Coronar angiograpy revealed three vessel coronary artery disease. The patient's preoperative whole blood count examination was performed by taking whole blood into EDTA tubes. The platelet count was found to be 23x103/mm3. The patient has no bleeding problem. In the physical examination; no pathologies were detected other than bilateral basal fine crepitations in the lungs and the result of bleeding and coagulation tests were normal. In the peripheral blood smear examination, adequate platelet clusters were found. Since the laboratory findings were normal and the patient had no history of bleeding problems, the patient was diagnosed with EDTA-dependent pseudothrombocytopenia. We presented this case to emphasize the importance of preoperative platelet count and function and remind of the issue of pseudothrombocytopenia.

Özet

Altmış yaşında kadın hasta, koroner bypass ameliyatı için kardiyovasküler cerrahi kliniğimize başvurdu. Koroner anjiyografi incelemesinde üç damarda koroner arter lezyonları saptandı. Hastanın ameliyat öncesi tam kan sayımı EDTA'lı tüplere tam kan alınarak gerçekleştirildi Trombosit sayısı 23x103/mm3 olarak tespit edildi. Hastanın kanama sorunu yoktu. Fizik muayenede; iki taraflı akciğer bazallerinde ince krepitasyon dışında diğer sistemlere ait patoloji saptanmayan hastanın kanama pıhtılaşma testleri normal olarak bulundu. Yapılan periferik yaymada yeterli trombosit kümeleri saptandı. Laboratuvar bulgularının normal olması ve öyküde kanama sorunu olmaması üzerine hastaya EDTA'ya bağlı psödotrombositopeni tanısı kondu. Ameliyat öncesi trombositlerin sayısının ve fonksiyonlarının değerlendirilmesinin önemini belirtmek ve psödotrombositopeni sorununu hatırlatmak için bu olguyu sunduk.
