Thrombocyte Antibodies

LABOKLIN Service ID: 8054

There are two possible ways for the development of thrombocyte antibodies:

Autoantibodies against platelets are formed. Only in this case, a positive test result can be expected.
Platelet damage due to immune complex diseases can secondarily also lead to the formation of antibodies against platelets.

Material	EDTA blood or heparin blood 0.5 ml (For the maximum age of the sample, see submission form.)
Method	flow cytometry
Duration	1-2 working days
Remark	If possible, it is recommendable to send at least 1 ml EB as the required sample amount depends on the total platelet count. evaluation: ≤ 10% negative, > 10% positive Detection of platelet antibodies is also part of the Thrombocytopenia Profile.
