Platelet Function Tests
(Platelet aggregation study & Flowcytometry)

A platelet aggregation test checks how well your platelets clump together to form blood clots. Platelets are a type of blood cell. They help form blood clots by sticking together. A clot is what stops the bleeding when you have a wound. Without platelets, you could bleed to death.

Platelet aggregation study is GOLD STANDARD technology & available at referral centre in India.

Qualitative platelet defect can be presented with normal platelet counts in majority of the cases.

In the anticoagulated whole blood is mixed with saline and a platelet agonist in a single-use cuvette with two pairs of electrodes. The increase in impedance between the electrodes as platelets aggregate onto them, is measured and visualized as a curve

Agonist required for aggregation study: Ristocetin, ADP, AA (Aracdonic acid), Epinephrine, Collage, and TRAP- 6

Why test required:
  • Excessive Bleeding

  • Excessive Bruising

  • Bleeding from the nose or gums

  • Excessive menstrual bleeding

  • Blood in the urine or stool
