    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrombocythemia

    In hematology, thrombocythemia is a condition of high platelet (thrombocyte) count in the blood. 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.

  3. Giant platelet disorder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_platelet_disorder

    Giant platelet disorder; Two giant platelets (stained purple) are visible in this image from a light microscope (40×) from a peripheral blood smear surrounded by red blood cells. One normal platelet can be seen in the upper left side of the image (purple) and is significantly smaller in size than the red blood cells (stained pink). Specialty ...

    Indicators of a poor prognosis: Advanced age; severe neutropenia or thrombocytopenia; high blast count in the bone marrow (20–29%) or blasts in the blood; Auer rods; absence of ringed sideroblasts; abnormal localization or immature granulocyte precursors in bone marrow section; completely or mostly abnormal karyotypes, or complex marrow ...

    Platelet concentration in the blood (i.e. platelet count), can be measured manually using a hemocytometer, or by placing blood in an automated platelet analyzer using particle counting, such as a Coulter counter or optical methods. [47] Most common blood testing methods include platelet count in their measurements, usually reported as PLT. [48]

  6. Pancytopenia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancytopenia

    Pancytopenia is a medical condition in which there is significant reduction in the number of almost all blood cells (red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, monocytes, lymphocytes, etc.). If only two parameters from the complete blood count are low, the term bicytopenia can be used. The diagnostic approach is the same as for pancytopenia.

  7. Polychromasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polychromasia

    Polychromasia is a disorder where there is an abnormally high number of immature red blood cells found in the bloodstream as a result of being prematurely released from the bone marrow during blood formation (poly- refers to many, and -chromasia means color.) These cells are often shades of grayish-blue.

  8. Essential thrombocythemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essential_thrombocythemia

    Hydroxycarbamide, interferon-α and anagrelide can lower the platelet count. Low-dose aspirin is used to reduce the risk of blood clot formation unless the platelet count is very high, where there is a risk of bleeding from the disease, and hence this measure would be counter-productive as aspirin-use increases the risk of bleeding. [3] [15 ...

  9. Platelet transfusion refractoriness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platelet_transfusion...

    The platelet increment is also known as the absolute count increment and count increment. [5] [10] PI = post-transfusion platelet count - pre-transfusion platelet count However, it is affected by the number of platelets given in the transfusion (platelet dose) and the patient's blood volume.
