  2. 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).

  3. Immune thrombocytopenic purpura - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immune_thrombocytopenic...

    Many older recommendations suggested a certain platelet count threshold (usually somewhere below 20.0/nL) as an indication for hospitalization or treatment. Current guidelines recommend treatment for adults with significant bleeding or counts below 30/nL, with very low certainty of evidence. [17]

  4. Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura - Wikipedia

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

    Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) initially presents with a range of symptoms that may include severe thrombocytopenia (platelet count usually < 30,000/mm³), microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (evidenced by schistocytes in the blood smear), and various clinical signs such as petechiae, purpura, neurologic symptoms, myocardial ischemia ...

    [7] [18] [28] Early signs of systemic complement-mediated TMA include thrombocytopenia (platelet count below 150,000 or a decrease from baseline of at least 25%) [16] and evidence of microangiopathic hemolysis, which is characterized by elevated LDH levels, decreased haptoglobin, decreased hemoglobin, and/or the presence of schistocytes.

  6. 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 ...

  7. Myelodysplastic syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myelodysplastic_syndrome

    Thrombocytopenia (low platelet count) – increased susceptibility to bleeding and ecchymosis (bruising), as well as subcutaneous hemorrhaging resulting in purpura or petechiae [8] [9] Many individuals are asymptomatic, and blood cytopenia or other problems are identified as a part of a routine blood count: [10] Neutropenia, anemia, and ...

  8. Pseudothrombocytopenia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudothrombocytopenia

    Pseudothrombocytopenia (PTCP) or spurious thrombocytopenia is an in-vitro sampling problem which may mislead the diagnosis towards the more critical condition of thrombocytopenia. The phenomenon may occur when the anticoagulant used while testing the blood sample causes clumping of platelets which mimics a low platelet count. [ 1 ]

  9. 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.).
