Immature Platelet Fraction: A Promising Biomarker in Various Clinical Entities
Kavitha Thilak, Abin Varghese, Vineetha V
Abstract: Reticulated platelets are immature platelets circulating in blood; they reflect the activity of megakaryopoiesis in the bone marrow. Therefore, they can be used as a non-invasive test in patients with thrombocytopenia in various clinical conditions. Reticulated or immature platelet assays are useful for the differential diagnosis of thrombocytopenia and for monitoring bone marrow recovery after chemotherapy or stem cell transplantation and several other clinical entities. The concentration of retPLT in bone marrow is on the average 2?3 times higher than in peripheral blood, where they correlate with megakaryocyte numbers. The platelets persist in the circulation for 7?10 days, retPLT have a much shorter lifespan (?
