Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP)
Post-transfusion
Heparin-induced
Primary Thrombocytopenia
These disorders are what type of thrombocytopenia?
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)
Viral infection
Lymphoproliferative disorders
Secondary Thrombocytopenia
An abnormal increase in the number of circulating platelets as a result of physiologic or pathologic processes
Thrombocytosis
These disorders are what type of thrombocytosis?
Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) such polycythemia vera and essential thrombocythemia
Primary Thrombocytosis
These disorders are what type of thrombocytosis?
After hemorrhage
IDA
Malignancy
Epinephrine administration
Secondary Thrombocytosis
In vivo platelet function and number test
Bleeding Time
Subjective pressure
More practical and convenient
Finger pricking and earlobes
Duke’s Method
Better method based on its principle
Puncture forearm with blood pressure cuff
Ivy’s Method
Cuff is inflated to _ in Ivy’s Method
40mmHg
Almost the same with Duke’s but the
difference is immersion of puncture finger in sterile physiologic saline solution (NSS) warmed at 37C water bath
Adelson-Crosby Method
Same as Adelson-Crosby Method
Cody-Lalitch
Same principle as Adelson-Crosby Method but it only uses earlobe as the site of puncture
MacFarlane for Bleeding Time
Assesses the effect of a standard dose of aspirin on the Duke’s Bleeding Time
Aspirin Tolerance Test
In vitro determination of platelet adhesiveness
Platelet Retention Test (Glassbead Retention Test)
These disorders are abnormally decreased or abnormally increased in platelet retention test?
Bernard-Soulier
Glanzmann Thrombastenia
vWD
Chediak-Higashi
Myeloproliferative
Disorder
Uremia
Aspirin Administration
Decreased
These disorders are abnormally decreased or abnormally increased in platelet retention test?
Thrombotic Disorders
Hyperlipidemia
Carcinoma
Oral Contraceptives
Pregnancy
Increased
Principle of Platelet Aggregation Evaluation
Turbidimetry / Transmittance of Light
What disorder is it where upon adding ristocetin, it fails to aggregate?
Bernard-Soulier Syndrome
What disorder is it when adding ECA, it abnormally reacts?
Glanzmann Thrombasthenia
Too low platelet, high transmittance
PPP (protein-poor plasma)
Too high platelet, low transmittance
PRP (protein-rich plasma)
Anticoagulant used in testing platelet aggregation
Citrated blue top
Last added aggregating agent
Epinephrine
First to be added and has broad curve
Ristocetin
Aggregating agents that cause biphasic curve
Epineprhine
Thrombin
ADP
Weak aggregating agent; 30% T
Serotonin
It reflects the number and quality of platelets, fibrinogen concentration, the fibrinolytic system and the packed cell
volume
Clot Retraction
Using castor oil for constipation; (+) dimpling phenomenon for 15-45 minutes; Mickey mouse appearance
Hirschboeck Method
Blood is allowed to clot in a test tube containing a glass rod and retraction is observed after the incubation period. The clot attached to the rod is then removed and the serum extracted
from the clot is measured.
MacFarlane for Clot Retraction
Normal Value for MacFarlane for Clot Retraction
44-67% for both methods
Blood in a test tube used for clotting time (one of the 3 tubes in the Lee and White Method is used) is saved and left at room temperature in order to note retraction, red cell fall out and clot
lyses
Single Tube Method
Measures clotting time then compare the result, promote clotting
If PRP is near control, normal
If PPP is near control, abnormal
PF3 Availability
Platelet are activated, change shape, release granules; Presence means on going platelet activation; Method is radioimmunoassay or RIA
PF4 and BTG
