MeSH definition : A platelet-specific protein which is released when platelets aggregate. Elevated plasma
levels have been reported after deep venous thrombosis, pre-eclampsia, myocardial
infarction with mural thrombosis, and myeloproliferative disorders. Measurement of
beta-thromboglobulin in biological fluids by radioimmunoassay is used for the diagnosis
and assessment of progress of thromboembolic disorders.;
