  2. Neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neonatal_alloimmune...

    The most rapidly effective treatment in infants with severe hemorrhage and/or a very low platelet count (<30,000 μL −1) is the transfusion of compatible platelets (i.e. platelets from a donor who, like the mother, lacks the causative antigen). [20]

  3. Thrombocytopenia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrombocytopenia

    One common definition of thrombocytopenia requiring emergency treatment is a platelet count below 50,000/μL. [5] Thrombocytopenia can be contrasted with the conditions associated with an abnormally high level of platelets in the blood – thrombocythemia (when the cause is unknown), and thrombocytosis (when the cause is known). [6] [7]

  4. Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heparin-induced...

    Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is the development of thrombocytopenia (a low platelet count), due to the administration of various forms of heparin, an anticoagulant. HIT predisposes to thrombosis (the abnormal formation of blood clots inside a blood vessel ).

  5. Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrombotic...

    Due to the high mortality of untreated TTP, a presumptive diagnosis of TTP is made even when only microangiopathic hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia are seen, and therapy is started. Transfusion is contraindicated in thrombotic TTP, as it fuels the coagulopathy. Since the early 1990s, plasmapheresis has become the treatment of choice for TTP.

  6. Kasabach–Merritt syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kasabach–Merritt_syndrome

    Kasabach–Merritt syndrome (KMS), also known as hemangioma with thrombocytopenia, [1] is a rare disease, usually of infants, in which a vascular tumor leads to decreased platelet counts and sometimes other bleeding problems, [2] which can be life-threatening. [3] It is also known as hemangioma thrombocytopenia syndrome.

  7. Platelet storage pool deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platelet_storage_pool...

    Platelet storage pool deficiency is a family of clotting disorders characterized by deficient granules in platelets.Individuals with these disorders have too few or abnormally functioning alpha granules, delta granules, or both alpha and delta granules and are therefore unable to form effective clots, which leads to prolonged bleeding.

  9. Thrombocythemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrombocythemia

    Normal count is in the range of 150 × 10 9 to 450 × 10 9 platelets per liter of blood, [1] but investigation is typically only considered if the upper limit exceeds 750 × 10 9 /L. When the cause is unknown, the term thrombocythemia is used, as either primary thrombocythemia or essential thrombocythemia .
