Core Tip	Many platelets (PLT) changes have been described in IBD, including morphological alterations (mean PLT volume, PLT distribution width, plateletcrit, and augmented granular content), count increase, microparticles release, over-excretion of granular content, and increased formation of PLT-PLT and PLT-leukocyte aggregates, which are all linked to PLT activation induced by inflammatory agonists. In this review article, we present the multipotent role of PLT in human biological paths and emphasize on how PLT participate in the chronic intestinal inflammation process in IBD.
