Résumé
Primary haemostasis is a complex dynamic process, which involves in-flow interactions between platelets and sub-endothelial matrix at the area of the damaged vessel wall. It results in a first haemostatic plug, which stops bleeding, before coagulation ensues and consolidates it. The diagnosis of primary haemostasis defect would benefit from evaluation of the whole sequence of mechanisms involved in platelet plug formation. This work proposes a new approach that is based on characterization of the shear-dependent kinetics that enables the evaluation of the early stages of primary haemostasis. We used a label-free method with a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) biosensor to measure the platelet deposits over time onto covalently immobilized type I fibrillar collagen. We defined three metrics: total frequency shift, lag time, and growth rate. The measurement was completed at four predefined shear rates prevailing in small vessels (500, 770, 1000 and 1500s-1) during five minutes of perfusion with anticoagulated normal whole blood. The rate of the frequency shift over the first five minutes was strongly influenced by shear rate conditions, presenting a maximum around 770s-1, and varying by a factor larger than three in the studied shear rate range. To validate the biosensor signal, the total frequency shift was compared to results obtained by atomic force microscopy (AFM) on final platelet deposits. The results show that shear-dependent kinetics assays is promising as an advanced method for screening of primary haemostasis.
