Platelet functions (platelet aggregation and adhesiveness) were studied in volunteers of different blood groups. The platelet aggregation time was found to be significantly (P less than 0.01) more in blood group O as compared A, B and AB blood groups. Similarly, platelet adhesive index was higher in A, B and AB blood groups when compared to that of blood group O. The administration of a single dose of aspirin (4 mg/kg, po) increased the platelet aggregation time and reduced the platelet adhesive index in all the blood groups.
