IMMATURE PLATELET FRACTION ( IPF )
What does IMMATURE PLATELET FRACTION ( IPF ) measure?
The Immature Platelet Fraction (IPF) test measures the proportion of newly produced, immature platelets in the blood. It may help assess how actively the bone marrow is producing platelets and support evaluation of low platelet counts or changes in platelet levels. A higher or lower IPF result can provide useful context when interpreted together with the platelet count, other blood test results, and clinical information.
