ABSTRACT
Sticky platelet syndrome is an autosomal dominant inherited thrombophilia, characterized
by increased in vitro platelet aggregation in response to low concentrations of epinephrine
or adenosine diphosphate (ADP). It is present as a prothrombotic state, both arterial and venous.
According to platelet aggregation pattern, with the different ADP and epinephrine concentrations,
three types of the syndrome can be identified: sticky platelet syndrome type I, platelet
hyperaggregation with both reagents; sticky platelet syndrome type II, platelet hyperaggregation
with epinephrine alone; and, sticky platelet syndrome type III, platelet hyperaggregation with
ADP alone. The clinical manifestations are associated with predisposition to venous and arterial
thrombosis, including cardiac or cerebral ischemia, retinal vein ischemia, and placental microcirculation
disorders, associated with intrauterine growth restriction, preeclampsia, eclampsia, and fetal loss, among others. Sticky platelet syndrome is diagnosed by platelet aggregation test,
where is found a platelet hyperaggregation in response to low doses of epinephrine and ADP.
Treatment includes the use of platelet antiaggregation agents, being low-dose aspirin therapy
the best choice and clopidogrel in the cases of resistance or contradiction for aspirin. The aim of
this module is to review the medical literature about this new syndrome, which it should take
into account in the diagnosis and management of thrombophilia as a possible option to a patient
affected by these symptoms.
