The study discusses plasma thrombin generation (TG) as a tool to assess blood coagulability, highlighting the importance of also considering the role of blood cells in coagulation. Platelets play a significant role in accelerating thrombin generation through various mechanisms, while erythrocytes and other blood cells also contribute to the coagulation process. Further research is needed to validate blood cell-dependent TG assays for clinical use.
The capacity of blood to form thrombin is a critical determinant of coagulability. Plasma thrombin generation (TG), a test that probes the capacity of plasma to form thrombin, has improved our knowledge of the coagulation system and shows promising utility in coagulation management. Although plasma TG gives comprehensive insights into the function of pro- and anticoagulation drivers, it does not measure the role of blood cells in TG. In this literature review, we discuss currently available continuous TG tests that can reflect the involvement of blood cells in coagulation, in particular the fluorogenic assays that allow continuous measurement in platelet-rich plasma and whole blood. We also provide an overview about the influence of blood cells on blood coagulation, with emphasis on the direct influence of blood cells on TG. Platelets accelerate the initiation and velocity of TG by phosphatidylserine exposure, granule content release and surface receptor interaction with coagulation proteins. Erythrocytes are also major providers of phosphatidylserine, and erythrocyte membranes trigger contact activation. Furthermore, leukocytes and cancer cells may be important players in cell-mediated coagulation because, under certain conditions, they express tissue factor, release procoagulant components and can induce platelet activation. We argue that testing TG in the presence of blood cells may be useful to distinguish blood cell-related coagulation disorders. However, it should also be noted that these blood cell-dependent TG assays are not clinically validated. Further standardization and validation studies are needed to explore their clinical usefulness.
