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. Gestational thrombocytopenia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestational_thrombocytopenia

   Gestational (incidental) thrombocytopenia is a condition that commonly affects pregnant women.Thrombocytopenia is defined as the drop in platelet count from the normal range of 150,000–400,000/μL to a count lower than 150,000/μL. [1]

4. 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]

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 ...

7. Packed red blood cells - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packed_red_blood_cells

   The red blood cells are denser than plasma and the other present blood cells (platelets, white blood cells) and settle at the bottom of the blood bag. After centrifugation, the red blood cells are separated from the other components (the majority of the plasma, platelets and white blood cells) through the use of an extractor (also referred to ...

   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 ...

9. Factor XII deficiency - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factor_xii_deficiency

   The condition is diagnosed by blood tests in the laboratory when it is noted that special blood clotting test are abnormal. Specifically Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aptt) is prolonged. [2] The diagnosis is confirmed by an assay detecting very low or absent FXII levels. [citation needed] The FXII (F12) gene is found on chromosome 5q33 ...
