Platelet clumping is a common laboratory phenomenon that complicates or precludes reporting of platelet count. It is often, but not always, a phenomenon commonly caused by the anticoagulant EDTA. Herein, we discuss a case of a 14-year-old girl who was found to have platelet clumping and discuss the work-up she underwent to investigate her pseudothrombocytopenia.
血小板聚集是一种常见的实验室现象,会使血小板计数的报告变得复杂或无法进行。它通常(但并非总是)是由抗凝剂乙二胺四乙酸(EDTA)引起的现象。在此,我们讨论一例14岁女孩被发现存在血小板聚集的病例,并探讨她为调查假性血小板减少症所接受的检查。
