What Is the Primary Platelet Function?

Platelets are produced by the bone marrow and circulate in the blood. They have the functions of adhesion, aggregation, and release. While performing physiological hemostasis, they also play an important role in pathological thrombosis. The platelet function test mainly examines platelet adhesion, aggregation, metabolism, release response and blood clot contraction, which is of great significance for the diagnosis of clinical related diseases and the screening of antiplatelet drugs and related research.
