Experimental evidence suggests a stimulatory effect of recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) on both platelets and coagulation. RhG-CSF is increasingly used to stimulate healthy volunteer donors for blood stem cell mobilization. We therefore assessed 25 healthy donors receiving rhG-CSF for changes in in vitro bleeding test (IVBT), coagulation parameters and cerebral microembolism by transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasound. A significant shortening of IVBT was found on day 4 of rhG-CSF administration together with increased levels of fibrinogen and factor VIII and reduced activities of protein C and protein S. Although these changes are quite small it is possible that they may lead to a hypercoagulable state especially in donors with other risk factors for thromboembolism. However, TCD examination failed to detect any signs of microembolism. We therefore conclude that rhG-CSF leads to significant changes in coagulation parameters, but has no effect on TCD detectable microembolism as a stroke risk factor. However donors receiving rhG-CSF should be examined carefully to detect pre-existing changes in the coagulation system and we would like to suggest a routine thrombophilia screen.
实验证据表明重组人粒细胞集落刺激因子(rhG-CSF)对血小板和凝血均有刺激作用。rhG-CSF越来越多地用于刺激健康志愿者捐献者以进行造血干细胞动员。因此,我们评估了25名接受rhG-CSF的健康捐献者,通过经颅多普勒(TCD)超声检测其体外出血试验(IVBT)、凝血参数和脑微栓塞的变化。在给予rhG-CSF的第4天,发现IVBT显著缩短,同时纤维蛋白原和因子VIII水平升高,蛋白C和蛋白S活性降低。尽管这些变化非常小,但尤其是在具有其他血栓栓塞危险因素的捐献者中,它们有可能导致高凝状态。然而,TCD检查未检测到任何微栓塞迹象。因此,我们得出结论,rhG-CSF会导致凝血参数发生显著变化,但作为中风危险因素,对TCD可检测到的微栓塞没有影响。然而,应对接受rhG-CSF的捐献者进行仔细检查,以发现凝血系统预先存在的变化,我们建议进行常规血栓形成倾向筛查。
