Evaluating the Role of Platelet Indices, with a Focus on Immature Platelet Fraction (IPF), in Differentiating Hyper-Destructive and Hypo-Productive Thrombocytopenia: A Study from Ludhiana, Punjab, India
Abstract: Background: Thrombocytopenia, characterized by a reduction in platelet count, is commonly observed in clinical settings. Its etiology can be broadly classified into hyper-destructive thrombocytopenia, where platelets are destroyed at an accelerated rate, and hypo-productive thrombocytopenia, where platelet production is impaired. Differentiating between these two causes is essential for effective management. The Immature Platelet Fraction (IPF) has emerged as a promising non-invasive diagnostic tool to distinguish these causes. Objectives: The primary …
