Platelet Qualitative Disorder Flashcards
an instrument designed to measure
platelet function in a suspension of Citrated WB or PRP.
Aggregometer
TYPES OF PLATELET AGGREGOMETRY STUDIES
- Optical platelet aggregometry
- Whole blood platelet aggregometry
- Platelet lumi aggregometry
Sample used in Optical platelet aggregometry
PRP
Testing principle of Optical platelet aggregometry
Light transmittance
Baseline 0% Transmission scales down to 100% transmittance.
Optical platelet aggregometry
4 PHASES of Optical platelet aggregometry
- Baseline
- Primary-wave aggregation
- ADP/ATP release
- Second-wave aggregation
Sample used in Whole blood platelet Aggregometry
Whole blood (WB)
Testing principle of Whole blood platelet Aggregometry
Electrical impedance
As platelet aggregate, platelets collects on
the electrodes impeding the current. The change is amplified and recorded.
Whole blood platelet Aggregometry
Sample used in Platelet lumi Aggregometry
Whole blood (WB) or PRP
Testing principle of Platelet lumi Aggregometry
Chemiluminescence
Principle: Luciferin-luciferase enzyme (Reagent) added is oxidized by ATP which generates proportional chemiluminescence
Platelet lumi Aggregometry
Particularly sensitive to ATP release
Platelet lumi Aggregometry
AGONIST USED IN AGGREGOMETRY with Biphasic curves
- Thrombin
- ADP
- Epinephrine
AGONIST USED IN AGGREGOMETRY with Monophasic curves
- Collagen
- Arachidonic Acid
- Ristocetin
Receptors of Thrombin
PAR-1,PAR-4;
GP Iba & GP VI
Relatively unaffected by membrane disorders or enzyme deficiencies.
Thrombin
Receptors for ADP
P2Y1 & P2Y12
Most commonly used agonists.
ADP
Receptor for EPINEPHRINE
A2- Adrenergic Receptor
Cannot induce aggregation in storage pool disorders
EPINEPHRINE
Receptors for COLLAGEN
GP Ia/IIa & GPVI
Loss of response may indicate membrane abnormality, secretion defect or antiplatelet
drugs
COLLAGEN
Receptors for ARACHIDONIC ACID
TPa & TPb
