Supports lumi-aggregometry preference for initial screening; leaves open prospective validation studies.
Lumi-aggregometry is recommended over standard light transmission aggregometry for the initial screening of inherited platelet function disorders.
Podda et al. (2016) conducted a review in Platelet disorders. Platelet function tests (Light transmission aggregometry and lumi-aggregometry) was evaluated. Light transmission aggregometry and lumi-aggregometry serve as useful first screening tests for diagnosing inherited defects of platelet function.
