Immature Platelet Fraction: A Platelet Parameter With Significant Clinical Utility [PDF]
American Journal of Clinical Pathology, 2015 Mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW) and the calculated plateletcrit (PCT) are reported to be useful in thrombocytopenia to assess platelet regeneration in the marrow. Our hypothesis was that the immature platelet fraction (IPF) is the most significant platelet parameter in patients with thrombocytopenia.

The role of platelet parameters in thrombosed hemorrhoids [PDF]
Journal of Coloproctology, 2020 Abstract Objectives The most common disease of anus is hemorrhoids. The definition of external hemorrhoids suggests the acute phase, often characterized by thrombosis or edema. External thrombosed hemorrhoid is a specific complication. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of different platelet parameters in the presence of ...
