The Curious case of the Clumping Platelets

In 2015 I had a case of clumping platelets. I had never experienced that before since being diagnosed in 2006 and I have never had it again since.

So what was it all about ?

Interesting to hear your experiences: thank-you. I've read about the problem, and I know that lab results often vary (by about 10%) from analyser results done in the clinic. I've also been told that the platelet count can depend on how well the tube is shaken before going into the analyser!
