2. Thrombocytopenia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrombocytopenia

   Laboratory tests for thrombocytopenia might include full blood count, liver enzymes, kidney function, vitamin B 12 levels, folic acid levels, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and peripheral blood smear. If the cause for the low platelet count remains unclear, a bone marrow biopsy is usually recommended to differentiate cases of decreased ...

3. Acute radiation syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_radiation_syndrome

   This may result in infections, due to a low number of white blood cells, bleeding, due to a lack of platelets, and anemia, due to too few red blood cells in circulation. [3] These changes can be detected by blood tests after receiving a whole-body acute dose as low as 0.25 grays (25 rad ), though they might never be felt by the patient if the ...

4. Reference ranges for blood tests - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_ranges_for_blood...

   Reference ranges (reference intervals) for blood tests are sets of values used by a health professional to interpret a set of medical test results from blood samples. Reference ranges for blood tests are studied within the field of clinical chemistry (also known as "clinical biochemistry", "chemical pathology" or "pure blood chemistry"), the ...

5. Immune thrombocytopenic purpura - Wikipedia

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

   Diagnosis of ITP involves identifying a low platelet count through a complete blood count, a common blood test. However, since the diagnosis relies on excluding other potential causes of a low platelet count, additional investigations, such as a bone marrow biopsy , may be necessary in certain cases.

6. Pseudothrombocytopenia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudothrombocytopenia

   Tests can mistake small clumps of platelets for leukocytes, thus showing a pseudo­leukocytosis in blood counts. [4] Platelet satellitism. Platelet rosetting, or satelliting, around white blood cells can lead to undercounting by automated analyzers. [5] Clotted samples. Coagulation within the sample leads to undercounting, because the analyzer ...

   Ferritin is a biomarker that reflects iron stores in the body. Testing ferritin levels on a blood panel is one of the diagnostic thresholds of diagnosing iron deficiency, says von Drygalski. The ...

8. Neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia - Wikipedia

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

   The diagnosis of NAIT is usually made after an incidental finding of a low platelet count on a blood test or because of bleeding complications ranging from bruising or petechiae to intracranial hemorrhage in the fetus or newborn. [6] Frequently, the reduction in platelet count is mild and the affected neonates remain largely asymptomatic. [6]

9. Wiskott–Aldrich syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiskott–Aldrich_syndrome

   Low platelets, known as thrombocytopenia (<70,000 platelets/mm3) on two separate tests, AND; Small platelets (platelet volume <7.5 fL) Definitive: Pathogenic WAS variant (or deletion) detected on genetic testing, OR; Absent or reduced WAS expression via Northern blot analysis of lymphocytes from a fresh blood sample, OR
