Individuals with platelet dysfunction may face restrictions on donating blood, as their condition can affect the quality of the blood products. Blood donation centers typically assess the health and medical history of potential donors to ensure safety for both the donor and the recipient. It’s best for those with platelet issues to consult with their healthcare provider and the blood donation center for specific guidelines.
"PIT" on a blood test typically refers to "Platelet Immune Test," which is used to assess the presence of antibodies that may be causing low platelet levels or platelet dysfunction. It helps diagnose conditions such as immune thrombocytopenia.
Platelet transfusions may be required in patients with Dengue Fever. If platelet counts drop sufficiently and/or fever inactivates circulating platelets, excessive bleeding may require administration of red cells to maintain adequate hematocrit.
Platelets are important in the human blood system. Platelet concentration is the amount of platelets in a measured volume of blood.

Haemophiliacs have a deficiency or dysfunction in certain clotting factors in the blood, primarily factor VIII (hemophilia A) or factor IX (hemophilia B). This deficiency impairs the blood's ability to clot effectively, leading to prolonged bleeding episodes even from minor injuries.
