Sažetak
We undertook this study to analyze serum and platelet gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) activity and total antioxidant status (TAS) concentration during the course of pneumonia and to compare them between patients with normal platelet count and those who developed reactive thrombocytosis. METHODS: Platelet count, GGT activity and TAS concentration in serum (S) and platelet (Plt) isolates were measured in 60 patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) on admission and at discharge. RESULTS: At the end of treatment, platelet count increased significantly from the value recorded on admission. By the end of treatment, 42% of patients developed reactive thrombocytosis. Serum and platelet GGT activity was higher, whereas (S)TAS was significantly lower in CAP patients than in control subjects. On admission, (Plt)TAS was significantly higher in CAP patients as compared with control subjects ; at discharge, (Plt)TAS was lower in comparison with either patient admission and control subjects. GGT activity and TAS concentration in serum and platelet isolate on admission did not differ significantly between patients with and without thrombocytosis. At discharge, (S)GGT activity showed no significant changes, whereas (Plt)GGT decreased significantly in patients with thrombocytosis as compared with those without thrombocytosis. In patients with thrombocytosis, (S)TAS concentration showed no significant difference, whereas (Plt)TAS concentration measured at discharge was significantly lower in patients with thrombocytosis as compared to those with normal platelet count. CONCLUSIONS: The pattern of changes in (Plt)GGT catalytic activity and TAS concentration might be indicative of a certain role of thrombocytosis during treatment in patients with CAP. Further investigations are necessary to clarify these changes.
