Organised by Sysmex
ROOM: TERRA
Session title: The Importance of Cellular Parameters in Thrombotic and Hemorrhagic Events and Iron Deficiency: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Improve Patient Care.
Chairperson: Dr. Ondrej Valina, Norderstedt – Germany
The Importance of Cellular Parameters in Thrombotic and Hemorrhagic Events and Iron Deficiency: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Improve Patient Care
Dr. Zsuzsanna Wolf, Munich – Germany
Learning objectives:
The measurement of reticulocytes, reticulocyte haemoglobin equivalent (RET-He) and immature platelets (IPF% and IPF#) as
part of a blood count is playing an increasingly important role in clinical practice. RET-He is already established in routine
diagnostics for the detection of iron deficiency in the perioperative setting, while automated IPF% and IPF# analysis is
emerging as a valuable parameter for the prediction of bleeding events in thrombocytopenic patients and for the assessment
of bone marrow recovery after bone marrow or stem cell transplantation. In addition, IPF# has shown promising potential in
the diagnosis of cardiac disease in both children and adults, further underlining its clinical relevance.
