| Usage: |
Aspirin which inhibits platelet cyclo-oxygenase reduces the risk of thrombosis in cardiovascular disease by impairing platelet function. Patients who do not respond to the platelet inhibitory effects of aspirin are designated as “ASPIRIN RESISTANT”. The measurement of 11-Dehydrothromboxane B2, the principal metabolite of platelet cyclo-oxygenase derived thromboxane B2 in urine, indicates a lack of aspirin responsiveness. |
