Abstract:
Objective To investigate the inaccurate causes of platelet(PLT)count and to propose the correcting measures.Meth-ods 180 specimens of abnormal PLT count were collected and divided into 4 groups:low PLT count group (PLT ≤20×109/L,72 cases),microcyte group(54 cases),large platelets group(33 cases)and platelet aggregation group(21 cases).The PLT count was simultaneously performed by using the three ways of the optical method (PLT-O),impedance method (PLT-I)and manual micros-copy method (PLT-M).The detection results were analyzed by the paired t test.Results The PLT count in the low PLT group, microcyte group and large platelets group had no statistical differences between PLT-O and PLT-M(P >0.05),and had statistical differences between the PLT-I and PLT-O(P <0.05).The PLT count of PLT-O in the platelet aggregation group was more close to actual value than that of PLT-I(P <0.05).Conclusion The PLT count by PLT-I has many influencing factors,which are mainly the microcytes interference leading to higher PLT count,missed detection of large PLT leading to lower PLT count,PLT aggrega-tion,etc.When the PLT count appears abnormal,the re-detection should be conducted according to the re-detection regulation, which can be corrected by adopting PLT-M or PLT-O,in necessity,the blood specimen could be re-collected for detection.
