Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) • High  destruction problem not production
• Low or normal  production problem or impaired
thrombopoiesis
Neither specific nor Platelet Function- Measured by

sensitive Bleeding time (BT)
Prothrombin Time (PT) - protime 10-13 sec
International Normalized Ratio

(INR)= (Patient’s PT/ Control PT)
Activated Partial Thromboplastin
22-38 sec (but varies with lab)
Time (aPTT)
Activated Clotting Time (ACT) 80-130 sec but varies
Fibrin Degradation Products (FDP)
FDP can be increased in formation of 2- 7 mcg/mL but varies
clot or in degradation of clot
Specific-Ensure the process
D-Dimer < 0.5 mcg/mL but varies
