In platelets of normal donors and of patients with chronic renal failure the following determinations were performed: 1. prostaglandin-endoperoxide-formation after N-ethylmaleimide stimulation measured as malondialdehyde; 2. the c-AMP level according to the Gilman-method; 3. the adenylate-cyclase activity in response to prostaglandin E1; 4. aggregation in response to collagen.In comparison to’normal donores the prostaglandin-endoperoxide production was reduced in uremic patients. Plasma of uremics depresses the endoperoxide formation of normal platelets. The basal c-AMP level of platelets of’ patients with renal failure was not significantly changed, whereas the plasma c-AMP level was increased; the activation of the platelets adenylate-cyclase was impaired. The adenylate-cyclase activity of platelets from normal donors was reduced by uremic plasma.. The results are of interest as to the explanation of the bleeding tendency of uremic patients.
