[New laboratory tests for detecting platelet abnormalities].
Platelets play important roles in thrombosis and hemostasis, and their abnormalities lead to hemostatic disorders or thrombotic diseases. The development of new tests for assessing platelet disorders is awaited. In this article, the measurement of blood thrombopoietin levels and detection of platelet aggregates with a particle counting method using light scattering are described as candidates for new laboratory tests for detecting platelet abnormalities.
