Report Description
Platelets are small cells in the blood responsible for clotting of the damaged blood
vessels. Blood vessels are responsible for carrying blood through the body. In an event
when blood vessels are damaged, platelets bind together at the damaged surface and
clot the area, preventing blood loss. The process of clotting begins after the damaged
vessels send signals which are received by the platelets. The platelets travel to the
damaged area and reshape themselves to form a mesh and get attached to the damaged
surface and prevent bleeding. For proper functioning of the clotting process an
appropriate number of platelets are required in the human body. In some cases the
platelets stop functioning properly and lose their ability to bind to the damaged site and
stop bleeding. These disorders may be hereditary or acquired and increase the risk of
fatality in the patient. These disorders include inefficacy in the process of platelet
adhesion, platelet aggregation, platelet secretion, procoagulant activity and
abnormalities in formation of new platelets, therefore it is necessary for the check the
functioning of the platelets. The platelet function tests are designed to test the problems
associated with production and functioning of the platelets in the blood.

Platelet Function Test Market: Drivers and Restraints
With the increasing number of platelet disorders the demand for the platelet function
test is increasing rapidly. Increasing incidence rate of disorders like thrombocythemia
(abnormal increase in the number of platelets) and thrombocytopenia (decrease in the
number of platelets) is expected to boost the demand for platelet function test market
during the forecast period.
