   Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), also known as idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura or immune thrombocytopenia, is an autoimmune primary disorder of hemostasis characterized by a low platelet count in the absence of other causes. [1][2] ITP often results in an increased risk of bleeding from mucosal surfaces (such as the nose or gums) or ...

   It is the most common coagulation disorder among intensive care patients and is seen in a fifth of medical patients and a third of surgical patients. [3] A normal human platelet count ranges from 150,000 to 450,000 platelets/microliter (μL) of blood. [4] Values outside this range do not necessarily indicate disease.

   1 in 100,000 people [3] Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a blood disorder that results in blood clots forming in small blood vessels throughout the body. [2] This results in a low platelet count, low red blood cells due to their breakdown, and often kidney, heart, and brain dysfunction. [1] Symptoms may include large bruises, fever ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platelet

   Platelets or thrombocytes (from Ancient Greek θρόμβος (thrómbos) 'clot' and κύτος (kútos) 'cell') are a blood component whose function (along with the coagulation factors) is to react to bleeding from blood vessel injury by clumping, thereby initiating a blood clot. [1] Platelets have no cell nucleus; they are fragments of ...

   Hemolytic–uremic syndrome (HUS) is a group of blood disorders characterized by low red blood cells, acute kidney injury (previously called acute renal failure), and low platelets. [1][3] Initial symptoms typically include bloody diarrhea, fever, vomiting, and weakness. [1][2] Kidney problems and low platelets then occur as the diarrhea ...

7. Platelet storage pool deficiency - Wikipedia

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

   Platelet storage pool deficiency. 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 ...
