Many different substances can activate a platelet, including proteins within the injury, factors released from already activated platelets, and factors produced by the clotting pathway that helps platelets to form a clot to stop bleeding. Platelet abnormalities may be encountered with one or more of these activating systems. Platelet aggregation comprises 4 to 8 separate tests. In each test, a different platelet activating substance (agonist) is added to the blood sample, followed by measurement of platelet aggregation over several minutes. When complete, the entire panel of tests is reviewed and interpreted to determine if there is any evidence of abnormal platelet function. Platelet aggregation testing is the gold standard in platelet function testing and can be utilised to diagnose a variety of inherited and acquired platelet function disorders.
