Abstract

Primary hemostasis is characterized by vascular contraction, platelet adhesion, and formation of a platelet thrombus. It begins immediately after endothelial disruption with platelets and von Willebrand factor (VWF) being the key components in the initiation of hemostatic process. This chapter describes the laboratory testing of platelets and VWF and provides an overview of pathologic disorders.
