    Summary
    The assays were also performed on six patients prior to and at one hour after infusion of DDAVP, and similar but lesser effects were observed.

    Summary · context
    A mean increase of 2-3 fold was observed in both PMP and procoagulant activity.
    Summary · context
    We examined the effect of DDAVP on platelet microparticle (PMP) formation and procoagulant activity in vitro using platelets from normal volunteers and in vivo in six patients receiving DDAVP therapy.
