| Popis: | The examination of a peripheral blood smear is mandatory in case of unexplained thrombocytopenia or thrombocytosis. First, the number of platelets should be estimated in order to confirm the platelet count determined by the haematology analyser, and to rule out causes of spuriously low or elevated platelet counts. Second, the size and morphological features of the platelets, which may provide information on the underlying cause of the low or enhanced platelet count, have to be assessed. |
