A member asked:
Why would i need a platelet aggregation test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bleeding problems: Platelets aggregation studies are typically done if there is a history of unusual bleeding and concerns for abnormal platelet function. Platelet function can be abnormal if there are abnormal screening tests (pfa-100, bleeding time). Also platelet aggregations may be done if the remainder of a bleeding evaluation has been normal.

I get blood work done every few months and have had slowly rising platelet levels for over 3 years. I didn't even notice until this last test showed a 419 level. It's been in the high 300's for the last 3 years but this is the first time out of range?
