NCT ID NCT04842760

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 24, 2026

Summary

This study tested a new diagnostic tool that uses imaging flow cytometry to examine platelets in blood samples. Researchers compared it to standard lab tests in 31 patients suspected of having platelet disorders or heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. The goal was to see if the new method could diagnose these conditions as accurately, or more accurately, than current tests.
