Platelet Aggregation Studies

Platelet aggregation studies are tests that measure how well your blood platelets clump together, which is vital for forming blood clots to stop bleeding. A small blood sample is taken, and chemicals are added to see if your platelets stick together as they should. This helps doctors evaluate bleeding disorders or understand why you might be prone to abnormal clotting or bleeding. The test provides insight into the function of platelets, guiding appropriate treatment and management of clotting-related conditions.
