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). [6] [7]

3. Thrombocythemia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrombocythemia

   High platelet counts can occur in patients with polycythemia vera (high red blood cell counts), and is an additional risk factor for complications. [ citation needed ] A very small number of people report symptoms of erythromelalgia , a burning sensation and redness of the extremities that resolves with cooling, or aspirin or both.

4. Cytopenia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytopenia

   Thrombocytopenia – a deficiency of platelets Pancytopenia – when all three types of blood cells; red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, are all deficient. This is a life-threatening disorder that is a characteristic of aplastic anemia .

5. Hemolytic–uremic syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemolytic–uremic_syndrome

   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 ...

6. 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]

7. 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.
