Plenova   O.O.Bohomolets National Medical University   Abstract   Disorders in the hemostasis system have a major impact on the disease course and complication in the hypertensive disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients. To assess the platelet hemostasis we examined 62 persons: 15 apparently healthy (Control Group), 15 HD patients without COPD, 17 HD patients with COPD associated, and 15 COPD patients of Degree II and III. We have found out that HD, COPD and the mix patients demonstrate an increased thrombocyte functional activity expressed in a higher degree of spontaneous aggregation, and significant activation of arachidonic acid induced thrombocyte aggregation. The HD patients feature a specific increase of adrenalin induced aggregation, contrary to other examined groups, that may be explained by a role of sympathetic nervous system in the HD pathogenesis. Chronic inflammation in the COPD patients is accompanied with a significant increase of arachidonic acid thrombocyte reaction (the highest among all examined groups) that should be taken into account when establishing a treatment policy with anti-inflammatory agents included.   Key words: hypertensive disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, hemostasis, thrombocytes, aggregation
