Hi, was just wondering if anyone knows what the above test is please? I have RA and currently being tested for lupus/mctd. I have had blood tests as I bruise easily, and always have, but lately it has gotten worse. The above test was done today, I asked what it was for and they just said its to do with platelets being too low. I know with auto immune this can happen, and asked about that, they just said wait and see. Apparently my four phials of blood is compared to a volunteer nurses blood, to compare mine against a "normal" test. I have been checked for von willibrands, whic is hereditary, and that was clear, so personally I think its the auto immune stuff, but dont have another appt until 7 june, so a long time to wait for the results. Thanks everyone
