Overview

There is no single study of choice for the diagnosis of Glanzmann's thrombasthenia, but it can be diagnosed based on platelet aggregation assays which constitute a panel of assays measuring platelet aggregation and activation in vitro using agonists like ADP, arachidonic acid, collagen, epinephrine, thrombin, and ristocetin.The diagnosis of Glanzmann thrombasthenia is confirmed through monoclonal antibody testing and flow cytometry.

Diagnostic study of choice

There is no single study of choice for the diagnosis of Glanzmann's thrombasthenia, but it can be diagnosed based on platelet aggregation assays which constitute a panel of assays measuring platelet aggregation and activation in vitro. Agonists that are used in this laboratory test include ADP, arachidonic acid, collagen, epinephrine, thrombin, and ristocetin. The diagnosis of Glanzmann thrombasthenia is confirmed through monoclonal antibody testing and flow cytometry [1][2][3][4][5]
