Platelet Aggregation Test

The Platelet Aggregation Test is a medical test that measures how well your blood cells called platelets clump together. Platelets are crucial for blood clotting, which helps stop bleeding. During the test, a sample of your blood is taken and then exposed to certain substances that stimulate aggregation. The degree of clumping is measured, helping doctors assess your bleeding risks or diagnose conditions related to platelet dysfunction, such as bleeding disorders or cardiovascular issues. This test provides valuable information about the body’s ability to form clots effectively and manage bleeding.
