Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and hypertonic dextrose solutions are commonly used injectates in regenerative medicine, sometimes used simultaneously. The effects of hypertonic dextrose on platelet lysis and activation have not been previously reported. We tested the effects of escalating dextrose concentration on cell counts and cell volume of platelets and red cells in PRP and whole blood (WB). A prompt partial reduction in platelet count occurred with all dextrose admixtures with either PRP or whole blood, consistent with partial lysis. After the first minute, platelet counts remained stable, suggesting a rapid accommodation of residual platelets to extreme (2000 mOsm) hypertonicity. A 25% or higher dextrose concentration caused a significant increase in mean platelet volume (MPV), which suggests an early phase of platelet activation. Further investigation is warranted to confirm if platelet lysis or activation has occurred and whether additive clinical benefit may result from hypertonic dextrose injection alone or in combination with PRP. |
