EDTA‐induced pseudothrombocytopenia in hematopoietic stem cell donor [PDF]

Clinical Case Reports, 2023
We herein report a case of peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) involving a donor with EDTA‐induced pseudothrombocytopenia (PTCP). The apheresis product was inspected for 24 h and there was no platelet clumping or thrombocytopenia.

Marked discrepancy of platelet counts between in-hospital and external laboratory testing due to pre-analytical factors: A case highlighting pseudothrombocytopenia [PDF]

SAGE Open Medical Case Reports
Discrepancies in platelet counts between laboratories may lead to diagnostic confusion and unnecessary interventions. We report a case in which platelet counts were consistently normal in an in-house laboratory but repeatedly decreased in external ...

Evaluation of EDTA induced pseudothrombocytopenia and the effect of alternative anticoagulants [PDF]

Journal of Pathology of Nepal, 2014
Background: Artifactual Thrombocytopenia is a condition in which there is falsely lowered platelet in patients who have thrombocytopenia but the absence of petechiae or echymoses.

Interpretation of pseudothrombocytopenia using platelet histograms and flags in a hematology autoanalyzer in a healthy child: a case report [PDF]

The Turkish Journal of Pediatrics
Background. Pseudothrombocytopenia is a spurious thrombocytopenia caused mostly by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) use, and if detected early, unnecessary testing and treatment can be avoided.

Prevalence, Risk Factors, Characteristics, and Clinical Outcomes of Thrombocytopenia in the Intensive Care Unit: A Prospective Single‐Center Cohort Study [PDF]

Critical Care Research and Practice, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Thrombocytopenia is a common hematologic abnormality in the intensive care unit (ICU), affecting approximately 50% of patients. It is associated with increased mortality and bleeding risk. Despite its clinical significance, epidemiological studies on ICU‐related thrombocytopenia in Gulf Cooperation Council countries remain limited.

Evaluating the “PLT Clumps?” Flag Originating From Different Channels of the Sysmex XN Haematology Analyser: A Method for Rapidly Distinguishing Between Two Preanalytical Factors Affecting PLT Counting for Cancer Patients [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, Volume 39, Issue 21, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Background This study investigated the accuracy of the “PLT Clumps?” flag triggered by different channels on the Sysmex XN haematology analyser in identifying two sample states and to optimize the platelet review strategy for cancer patients. Methods 570 samples flagged “PLT Clumps?” in CBC + DIFF mode were analysed.

Evaluation of pre-dilution combined with optical/fluorescent platelet counting for correcting pseudothrombocytopenia [PDF]

Frontiers in Medicine
IntroductionPseudothrombocytopenia (PTCP), a common artifact in hematology, often leads to misdiagnosis and unnecessary interventions, with EDTA-dependent PTCP being the most frequent.

Tirofiban‐Associated Profound Thrombocytopenia in a Patient With Glucose‐6‐Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency Undergoing Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Case Report [PDF]

Case Reports in Cardiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Profound thrombocytopenia after tirofiban exposure during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is rare but clinically important. Causal attribution may be challenging when unfractionated heparin is coadministered, and the relevance of glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency remains uncertain.

EDTA-Dependent Pseudothrombocytopenia Associated with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis: A Case Report and Current Literature Review [PDF]

Haseki Tıp Bülteni
Pseudothrombocytopenia (PTCP) can be an analytical error in the automatic blood cell count. Blood samples containing autoantibodies against platelets collected in ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) tubes can lead to platelet accumulation at room ...
