Reference Range
PLATELET COUNT
130-450 K/MM3
Critical values (automatic call-back):<31 K/MM3 or >1,000 K/MM3
Immature Platelet Fraction
1.8 - 7.9%
Low PLT + Low IPF suggests a bone marrow production disorder. Low PLT + High IPF suggests peripheral destruction (ITP, TTP, DIC, autoimmune) or bone marrow recovery. Trending of serial IPF measurements is recommended when evaluating for bone marrow response.
