Platelet Function Test Reporting Information
Reporting Information
Results for the PFS will be reported as normal or abnormal for COL/EPI and COL/ADP, along with interpretation. The platelet count and hematocrit are also included.
The most common cause of platelet dysfunction is medication.
If results are abnormal, suspect VonWillebrand's Disease, a platelet disorder or drug-induced inhibition of platelet aggregation.
Newborns can have decreased aggregation compared to adults.
