Résumé

Light transmission aggregometry (LTA) is important for diagnosing platelet function disorders (PFD) and von Willebrand disease (VWD) affecting ristocetin-induced platelet aggregation (RIPA). Nonetheless, data is lacking on the utility of LTA for investigating thrombocytopenic patients and platelet rich plasma samples with low platelet counts (L-PRP). Previously, we developed a strategy for diagnostic LTA assessment of L-PRP that included: (1) acceptance of referrals/samples, regardless of thrombocytopenia severity, (2) tailored agonist selection, based on which are informative for L-PRP with mildly or severely low platelet counts, and (3) interpretation of maximal aggregation (MA) using regression-derived 95% confidence intervals, determined for diluted control L-PRP (C-L-PRP). To further evaluate the L-PRP LTA strategy, we evaluated findings for a subsequent patient cohort. Between 2008 and 2021, the L-PRP strategy was applied to 211 samples (11.7% of all LTA samples) from 192 unique patients, whose platelet counts (median [range] × 10 Diagnostic LTA with L-PRP, using a strategy that considers thrombocytopenia severity, is feasible and informative.
