Coagulation and Platelet Function Immunoassay Testing
Coagulation Function vs. Platelet Function Coagulation function and platelet function are both related to blood clotting and hemostasis, but they operate through different mechanisms. In normal circumstances, the body maintains a dynamic balance between the coagulation and anticoagulation systems, which is crucial for preventing abnormal bleeding or thrombus formation. Imbalances in this equilibrium can result in bleeding or clot formation. In clinical practice, the coagulation panel and thrombosis panel are commonly used to assess the clotting capacity of blood and the functionality of the anticoagulation system. Platelet function testing techniques Platelet function testing primarily evaluates the functions of platelet aggregation, adhesion, and release. It is of significant importance in diagnosing hemorrhagic or thrombotic disorders, assessing platelet thrombotic risk, monitoring the efficacy of preventive and therapeutic antiplatelet medications, and ensuring the qual...
