| Test Name/Synonym: | Clumped Platelets (Synonym: Platelet Count for InVitro Clumping, Platelet Clumper, CLUMPHEPCIT) | ||||||
| Clinical Indications: | Platelet clumping, noted on the CBC, is thought to be an in vitro phenomenon caused by EDTA anti-coagulant present in the collection tube. In vitro platelet clumping does not have any clinical significance but can preclude accurate enumeration. Collection of blood into an alternate anticoagulant may ameliorate clumping and allow for quantitation in some patients. | ||||||
