The evaluation of the effectiveness of antiplatelet medication and forecast of future cardiovascular complications are very important for many patients. The immature platelets are more reactive compared to mature platelets and have a higher prothrombotic potential. IPF# can be associated with poor antiplatelet drug response due to residual platelet reactivity and has been shown to have additional value compared to traditional platelet function tests. In this white paper the related scientific publications are explained.
Patients with acute coronary syndromes often have high immature platelet counts (IPF#) that the body produces to compensate for platelet loss caused by platelet aggregation due to atherosclerosis. This clinical information card explains the IPF# in this context and as it is a valuable supportive parameter for effective risk assessment and therapy management of coronary artery diseases.
The focus of this clinical information card is how the haematological parameter 'immature platelet fraction' (IPF) supports differential diagnosis of thrombocytopenia.
This poster includes information about bone marrow cytology and histology. As well as a table containing indications for bone marrow examination and decision criteria for bone marrow cytology or bone marrow histology. And finally images of normal bone marrow cytology.
A patient case showing early detection of latent iron deficiency, that would not have been detected in a normal routine blood count or blood smear is described. A low RET-He (reticulocyte haemoglobin equivalent) value triggered a confirmatory test and lead to prompt treatment of the patient.
A blood count is part of almost every medical check-up and, as such, one of the most frequently ordered laboratory tests. Several research studies show how Extended Inflammation Parameters (EIP) can support infection diagnostics by measuring WBC immune cell activation from a CBC + DIFF.
For the sake of the patient - it is of critical importance that physicians and other healthcare personnel are able to confidently rely on laboratory test results in order to make meaningful and safe decisions about the diagnosis and treatment of patients entrusted to their care.
