Enhancing Diagnostic Accuracy in Thrombocytopenia: The Laboratory’s Expanding Role

Thrombocytopenia remains a diagnostic challenge, with causes that range from benign conditions to life-threatening disorders. This guide explores how modern hematology tools empower laboratories to lead in early detection and classification of thrombocytopenia.

In this white paper, you'll learn:

  • How to classify and assess thrombocytopenia using a structured diagnostic framework and key laboratory-based criteria
  • Why platelet count accuracy matters and how poor-quality counts can delay diagnosis or lead to unnecessary interventions
  • Thrombocytopenia diagnostic tools that support a more targeted, efficient workup, including CBC, peripheral smear, and platelet indices
  • How advanced hematology analyzers improve performance through triplicate aperture counting, sweepflow technology, and extended count capabilities
  • What mean platelet volume interpretation reveals about platelet production and destruction, and how it can signal early marrow recovery
  • The laboratory’s evolving role in identifying thrombocytopenia etiology, minimizing diagnostic uncertainty, and guiding treatment decisions

Whether you're updating your protocols or evaluating new technologies, this resource provides actionable insights to support better outcomes.
