  2. Platelet transfusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platelet_transfusion

    In people with a low platelet count, prophylactic platelet transfusions do not need to be given prior to procedures that have a low risk of causing bleeding. [10] [13] [9] Low-risk procedures include surgical sites that do not contain many blood vessels e.g. cataract surgery, [13] or minor procedures.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrombocytopenia

    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. One common definition of thrombocytopenia requiring emergency treatment is a platelet count below 50,000/μL. [ 5 ]

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

    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]

  5. Plateletpheresis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plateletpheresis

    In a typical set of rules, a platelet donor must weigh at least 50 kg (110 lb) and have a platelet count of at least 150 x 10 9 /L (150,000 platelets per mm³). [2] One unit has greater than 3×10 11 platelets. Therefore, it takes 2 liters of blood having a platelet count of 150,000/mm³ to produce one unit of platelets.

  6. Immune thrombocytopenic purpura - Wikipedia

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

    Platelet transfusion alone is normally not recommended except in an emergency and is usually unsuccessful in producing a long-term platelet count increase. This is because the underlying autoimmune mechanism that is destroying the patient's platelets will also destroy donor platelets, and so platelet transfusions are not considered a long-term ...

  7. 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]
