Immature Platelet Count Levels as a Novel Quality Marker in Plateletpheresis

The Evaluation of Platelet Count as an Indicator of Iron Status in Voluntary Plateletpheresis Donors

Platelet Factor 3 Based-clotting Time Assay as a Quality Marker for Long-term Storage of Platelet Concentrates

Background: Platelets rapidly lose their qualities usually after 5 day of storage. Different standard methods have been recommended to check the quality of platelets during storage which some of them show better correlation with other quality markers during storage. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate if platelet factor 3 (PF3) assay could be an indicator of storage lesion and provide ...

Immature Platelet Fraction, A Simple and Useful Novel Marker in Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever.

In dengue fever, thrombocytopenia is ascribed to destruction of platelets by antiplatelet antibodies, disseminated intravascular coagulation, marrow suppression and peripheral sequestration of platelets. Platelet counts vary considerably during the course of illness, and patients may require platelet transfusion when the counts are <10000/mm3 [1]. Platelet count is expected to rise in the late ...

Platelet count as a prognostic marker in patients with acute coronary syndromes.

latelets play important roles in the pathophysiological process of acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Platelet activation, aggregation and thrombus formation secondary to plaque disruption have been implicated as major pathogenic mechanisms underlying ACS. Moreover, activated platelets mediate inflammation through adhesive interaction with leukocytes and endothelial cells, secretion of vasoactive ...

A Study of Platelet Count as a Marker of Severity of Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy

The incidence of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is reportedly high in countries with limited resources; It is one of the top 20 leading causes of burden of disease in all age groups (in terms of disability life adjusted years) by the world health organization (WHO) and is the fifth largest cause of death of children younger than 5 years(8%). The purpose of this study was to investigate v...
