1 The method for deciding whether a patient has true thrombocytopenia or a platelet clumping disorder that affects approximately 3 per 1000 individuals. Platelet clumping is an in vitro process and causes a spuriously low platelet count that may result in unnecessary anxiety, workup, and treatment.
