Better diagnosis for platelet function disorders
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This study aims to improve how doctors diagnose platelet function disorders—problems with blood cells that help stop bleeding. If you have a known or suspected platelet disorder and are being seen at Karolinska University Hospital, this trial may offer better testing to find the cause of your bleeding issues.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You either have a known platelet function disorder being followed at Karolinska University Hospital, or you are being evaluated there for a bleeding problem.
- If you have a known disorder, you may also qualify if you have a strong family history of platelet problems or abnormal screening tests.
- You cannot be taking any blood-thinning medications (like aspirin or warfarin).
- Your von Willebrand factor level must not be too low.
- Your hematocrit (red blood cell percentage) must be between 35% and 50%.
- You cannot have other bleeding or clotting disorders.

This study looks at genes and blood function in people with inherited (passed-down) problems with platelets, white blood cells, or blood clotting. It may help improve understanding of the cause of these conditions and how they work in the body.
This study uses a special blood test to create a score that predicts bleeding risk in patients with blood cancers and very low platelet counts. It could help doctors decide if you need extra care to prevent bleeding.
This trial is collecting blood from healthy adults to establish a new reference range for a standard platelet function test. You may be eligible if you do not have any bleeding disorders, are not taking blood thinners or anti-inflammatory medications, and meet other lab criteria.
This study looks at how the body stops bleeding or forms clots in people with bleeding or clotting disorders. It may help researchers understand these conditions better and improve evaluation tests.
This Swiss study looks at people with unexplained bleeding by using a standardized bleeding score and taking a blood sample. It may help researchers better understand possible bleeding causes even when the reason isn’t clear yet.
This study is for people who have a history of unusual bleeding but whose standard blood tests have not found a known bleeding disorder. Researchers hope to learn more about what causes these unexplained bleeding problems.
