Platelets and platelet function testing in children

Progress in Pediatric Cardiology, 2005
Abstract Platelets play key roles in hemostasis as well as in the pathogenesis of arterial thrombosis. This review summarizes current knowledge of the physiology of pediatric platelets; similarities and differences with platelets from adults are discussed with regards to platelet characteristics, adhesion, activation and secretion, and aggregation.

The Platelet and Platelet Function Testing in Liver Disease

Clinics in Liver Disease, 2009
Patients who have liver disease commonly present with alterations in platelet number and function. Recent data have questioned the contribution of these changes to bleeding complications in these patients. Modern tests of platelet function revealed compensatory mechanisms for the decreased platelet number and function, the most prominent compensatory ...

The Platelet Function Profile: A New Format for Recording Platelet Function Tests

American Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1979
A platelet function profile that provides a concise record of platelet function tests has been developed. This format can be easily modified to meet local requirements or to include hematologic tests unique to each laboratory.

Point-of-Care Platelet Function Testing

Seminars in Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 2007
Cardiopulmonary bypass has unpredictably deleterious effects on platelet function. Patients with cardiovascular disease have treatments aimed at reducing platelet aggregation and are at risk of excessive bleeding during surgery. Transfusion of blood products, particularly platelets, probably causes increased morbidity and mortality.

Platelet function testing in clinical diagnostics

Hämostaseologie, 2011
SummaryAlthough the utility of platelet function testing is still under debate, the necessity to inhibit platelets in patients suffering from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease is undoubted and well proven. The wide variety of available platelet function tests often using different methodologies, the apparent lack of standardization, and ...

Platelet function testing: from routine to specialist testing

British Journal of Biomedical Science, 2016
Platelets have many functions within the haemostatic system, and when these actions are diminished for whatever reason, a bleeding tendency can manifest. Unravelling the reason(s) for this bleeding can be complex due to the multiple roles platelets perform. This review seeks to explain each level of platelet testing moving from those performed at local
