Popis: Citrate is widely used as an anticoagulant for platelet function tests (PFTs). Due to an intrinsic inhibitory effect of citrate on platelet function, hirudin is used as an alternative. However, studies comparing the effect of these anticoagulants on rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) platelet whole blood impedance aggregometry in thrombocytopenic patients are scant. Cross-sectional study was done in 105 patients who entered the critical phase of Dengue hemorrhagic fever with plasma leakage and severe thrombocytopenia (
