Thrombocytopenia Thrombocytopenia is any disorder in which there is an abnormally low amount of platelets. Platelets are parts of the blood that help blood to clot. This condition is sometimes associated with abnormal bleeding. Causes‚ incidence‚ and risk factors Thrombocytopenia is often divided into three major causes of low platelets: 1.

Thrombocytopenia Thrombocytopenia is a disorder that causes platelets to be destroyed at an accelerated rate. Platelets are produced from the fragmentation of bone marrow megakaryocytes and then are released into the circulation where they play an important role in hemostasis by forming a platelet plug when needed. They do this by binding to a damaged vessel wall‚ which is then stabilized by fibrin. When platelets are prematurely destroyed‚ it causes abnormal hemostasis. Thrombocytopenia is the
