While considered benign, studies linking thrombotic events with prior ID anemia suggest otherwise. Herein we used animal models to assess the influence of ID on thrombotic tendency. Sprague-Dawley rats were fed control or iron deficient diets and ferric carboxymaltose was used to reverse ID. Thrombosis was induced via stenosis of the inferior vena cava or damage to the right carotid artery using ferric chloride. Thrombi were evaluated histologically and via high frequency ultrasound in the venous model. ID consistently induced thrombocytosis alongside anemia. Venous thrombus growth and final dimensions in both arterial and venous thrombi were largest in ID. In both models, platelet numbers correlated with the final thrombus size, with ID thrombi having the largest platelet areas. Platelet function was also evaluated in surgically naive rats. Coagulability on thromboelastography and hemostasis on tail transection were augmented in ID. Platelet and plasma P-selectin expression were both higher in ID. Platelet adhesion and aggregation in ID was impaired under shear flow but was intact on static assays. Iron replacement therapy reversed all ID-related changes in hematological parameters, thrombus dimensions, and platelet assays. In summary, ID alone increases thrombotic tendency. Iron replacement therapy reverses these changes, making it a viable strategy for prevention of ID-related thrombotic disease. This may be of importance in patients with chronic illnesses which may already be at increased risk for thrombosis such as inflammatory bowel disease, chronic kidney disease, or cancer.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3324\/haematol.2019.245092","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,20]],"date-time":"2020-02-20T11:15:31Z","timestamp":1582197331000},"page":"782-794","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":61,"title":["Iron deficiency-induced thrombocytosis increases thrombotic tendency in rats"],"prefix":"10.3324","volume":"106","author":[{"family":"Kristine Jimenez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"family":"Florentina Leitner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"family":"Aran Leitner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"family":"Gisela Scharbert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"family":"Philipp Schwabl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"family":"Anne-Margarethe Kramer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"family":"Anita Krnjic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"family":"Joachim Friske","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"family":"Thomas Helbich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"family":"Rayko Evstatiev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"family":"Vineeta Khare","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"family":"Christoph Gasche","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1856","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"22450","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Camaschella C.
