Effects of time, anticoagulant and detection channel on platelet count in ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)-dependent pseudothrombocytopenia
Our data showed that time, anticoagulant and detection channel significantly affected the PLT count in the EDTA-PTCP samples. For the EDTA-PTCP samples, the simplest retest method was to use the PLT-O channel of the Mindray automatic blood analyser within 30 min. In addition, changing the sodium citrate anticoagulant and using the XN-9100 PLT-F channel within 15 min were also suitable for correcting the spurious low PLT of the EDTA-PTCP samples.
