Quoted from the NIH: Normally, the immune system helps protect the body, but with Crohn's disease the immune system can't tell the difference between normal body tissue and foreign substances. The result is an overactive immune response that leads to chronic inflammation. This is called an autoimmune disorder..
Platelet Aggregation Test. A platelet aggregation test checks how well your platelets clump together. Platelets are types of blood cells. They help form blood clots by sticking together. A clot stops the bleeding when you have a wound. A platelet aggregation test requires a blood sample.The sample will be examined to see how the platelets are distributed through the plasma. Plasma is the liquid part of the blood. The lab technician will also add certain chemicals to your blood sample to test how quickly your platelets form a clot.latelets are types of blood cells.

These assays determine the number of coated beads or platelets that aggregate after substances are added to activate platelets in a sample of blood. They provide a single measure of aggregation (an endpoint) rather than a measure of aggregation over time. More platelets aggregating or sticking to beads indicates better platelet function. These tests may be abnormal if the platelet count is low, if platelet function is reduced, or if anti-platelet medications are present. Platelet count ratio
