Platelet count in impedance-based hematology analyzer: Beware of trap!

Asian Journal of Transfusion Science, 2023
Among the blood counts, platelet count is most often reported with inconsistency. Many of the analyzers work on electrical impedance principle for red blood cell (RBC) and platelet counting. However, with this technology, factors such as fragmented RBCs,

The Effects of Smoking on Platelet Count, Mean Platelet Volume and Cardiovascular Risk Factors: A Case-control Study [PDF]

, 2017
Aim: Smoking and cholesterol levels are two important components of atherosclerosis. Mean platelet volume (MPV) is an indicator of platelet function and activation and a potential marker of cardiovascular disease.

A The ratio of neutrophils l and the mean platelet volume to platelet count ratio as risk factors for febrile convulsions in Zakho

Zanco Journal of Medical Sciences
Background and objective: The most prevalent cause of convulsions in young children is febrile convulsions. The ratio of neutrophils to lymphocytes (NLR), the mean platelet volume (MPV), and the platelet count are indicators of inflammation.

Biphasic Clinical Course of Pediatric Cytomegalovirus‐Associated Immune Thrombocytopenia: Early Poor Treatment Response but Favorable Long‐Term Outcomes

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a recognized trigger of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP); however, its incidence and impact on disease course in children remain controversial. Therefore, we aimed to characterize the clinical course of pediatric patients with CMV‐associated ITP.

Classical Complement Pathway Inhibition in a Pediatric Patient With Refractory Immune Thrombocytopenia

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric refractory immune thrombocytopenia (rITP) is generally characterized by persistent thrombocytopenia and failure to achieve a sustained response to multiple standard therapies. We report a 4‐year‐old female with congenital tufting enteropathy, post‐intestinal transplant patient on immunosuppressants, who developed severe rITP ...

Platelet count in elderly patients with unipolar depression – case control analysis

, 2018
Aim: While the effect of antidepressants on platelet functions is relatively well studied, there are few studies comparing platelet parameters, such as platelet count, between elderly patients with unipolar depression and non-depressed elderly subjects.

Platelet aggregation studies: autologous platelet-poor plasma inhibits platelet aggregation when added to platelet-rich plasma to normalize platelet count [PDF]

, 2007
Adjusting platelet count (PC) in platelet-rich plasma (PRP) using platelet-poor plasma (PPP) is recommended for platelet aggregation (PA) studies, but it could also affect PA independently of the decrease in PC.
