Abstract: ,Objective To investigate the variation of immature platelet fraction(IPF),high-fluorescence intensity of immature platelet fraction(H-IPF),absolute value of immature platelet(IPF#)and mean side fluorescence intensity of platelet(PLT-X)in patients with thrombocytopenic diseases and their clinical significance in the thrombocytopenic diseases.   Methods The platelet(PLT),IPF,H-IPF,IPF# and PLT-X of peripheral blood in 86 patients with thrombocytopenic diseases [50 cases of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura(ITP),15 cases of aplastic anemia(AA)and 21 cases of acute leukemia(AL)],32 patients with myeloproliferative disorders(MPD)[11 cases of chronic myelogenous leukemia(CML),16 cases of essential thrombocythemia(ET)and 5 cases of polycythemia vera(PV)] and 50 healthy subjects were determined by automatic hematology SYSMEX XE-5000 analyzer. According to the results of PLT,the 50 cases of ITP were classified into ≤30×109/L,(>30-<60)×109/L and(60-<100)×109/L groups,and the results for IPF were compared.  Results The IPF,H-IPF,IPF# and PLT-X in ITP group were(19.8±12.7)%,6.7(4.7-12.3)%,3.1(2.0-12.1)×109/L and(27.8±8.6)ch,respectively. The IPF,H-IPF,IPF# and PLT-X in AA group were(5.6±2.5)%,1.9(0.7~4.0)%,0.8(0.4~1.4)×109/L and(17.3±2.4)ch,respectively. The IPF,H-IPF,IPF# and PLT-X in AL group were(6.3±3.4)%,2.1(1.2~4.1)%,2.4(1.5~3.2)×109/L and(18.7±3.0)ch,respectively. The IPF,H-IPF,IPF# and PLT-X in MPD group were(3.1±1.6)%,0.9(0.7~1.4)%,19.2(14.0~22.5)×109/L and(16.9±2.3)ch,respectively. The IPF,H-IPF,IPF# and PLT-X in healthy subject group were(4.1±1.3)%,1.2(1.0~1.7)%,9.3(7.4~12.1)×109/L and(18.4±1.5)ch,respectively. Compared with the AA,AL,MPD groups and healthy subject group,the IPF,H-IPF and PLT-X of ITP group wrer higher(P<0.05),and the difference in the IPF# between ITP group and the other 3 groups was significant(P<0.05),but there was no statistical significance in the IPF# between ITP group and healthy subject group(P>0.05). There was no statistical significance for IPF in the different groups of ITP(P>0.05).
