Abstract

See full text

A method for determining platelet activation is described. One method includes obtaining a baseline count of platelets in a sample comprising platelets in a liquid medium obtained from a physiological source of the platelets wherein the sample may include an anti-coagulant, adding an activation agonist to the sample and after activation of activatable platelets in the sample, a count of unactivated platelets in the sample is then obtained and the difference between the baseline count of platelets and the count of unactivated platelets is determined. This difference is a measure of the activity of the platelets in the original sample. A kit for determining platelet activation is also described.
