In sepsis, coagulation is activated and there is an increased risk of developing a consumptive coagulopathy with attendant increase in mortality. The processes that regulate hemostasis evolved as a component of the inflammatory response to infection. Many points of interaction occur on the endothelial cell surface linking the 2 cell types in the initiation and regulation of hemostasis and inflammation. Consequently, inflammation stimulates both platelets and endothelial cells in ways that affect both hemostasis and the immune response. Platelets are also prime drivers of the inflammatory response. This article discusses the pathways wherein inflammation regulates platelet and endothelial cell function.
