Abstract

The multifunctional nature of the platelets made them as a significant disease biomarker and a potential drug target in several pathophysiological conditions. Platelet counts alongside its function, dictate disease pathophysiology in different disease aetiology (e.g., cardiovascular diseases, malignancies, diabetes, etc.). Technologies for estimating platelet number or determine function have traversed a long way, through the era of manual platelet tests to an era of automated and bedside platelet analysis systems. This chapter comprises of the state-of-the-art and emerging technologies in platelet diagnosis. A special emphasis has been given on how different technologies can be beneficial for the diseases diagnosis using platelet counts and functions as biomarker.
