What is Best index of platelet function is: and explain in detail?
Bleeding time (N = 1-3 min) is an index of platelet number. Bleeding time is prolonged when platelet number falls below 50,000/mm3. Clot retraction is a function of platelets. The contractile filaments of platelets, in the platelet plug, are responsible for retraction of the clot that has formed on the surface of the platelet plug.
