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.

Platelets (also known as thrombocytes) are small, round cell fragments that are vital for normal blood clotting. Platelet function tests indirectly evaluate how well a person's platelets work in helping to stop bleeding within the body. Platelets are produced in the bone marrow and circulate in the blood. When there is an injury to a blood vessel and bleeding begins, platelets help to stop bleeding in three ways. They: 1  Adhere to the injury site. 2  Clump together (aggregate) with other platelets. 3  Release compounds that stimulate further aggregation.
