Abstract EN
The major goal of traditional platelet function tests has been to screen and diagnose patients who present with bleeding problems.
However, as the central role of platelets implicated in the etiology of arterial thrombotic diseases such as myocardial infarction and stroke became widely known, platelet function tests are now being promoted to monitor the efficacy of antiplatelet drugs and also to potentially identify patients at increased risk of thrombosis.
Beyond hemostasis and thrombosis, an increasing number of studies indicate that platelets play an integral role in intercellular communication, are mediators of inflammation, and have immunomodulatory activity.
As new potential biomarkers and technologies arrive at the horizon, platelet functions testing appears to take on a new aspect.
This review article discusses currently available clinical application of platelet function tests, placing emphasis on essential characteristics.
