Thrombocytopenia
What is thrombocytopenia?
Thrombocytopenia is a condition in which there are too few platelets - the cells produced in the bone marrow that are needed for clotting.
Thrombocytopenia - drug induced
Definition
Thrombocytopenia is any disorder in which there are not enough platelets. Platelets are cells in the blood that help the blood clot. A low platelet count makes bleeding more likely.
Thrombocytopenia (reduced platelet count)
Thrombocytopenia is the term for a reduced platelet (thrombocyte) count. It occurs when platelets are lost from the circulation faster than they can be replaced from the bone marrow where they are made.

Thrombocytopenia is an abnormally low number of platelets in the blood. Platelets are the blood cells responsible for helping blood to clot. Most thrombocytopenia causes no major problems, but severe thrombocytopenia may result in excessive bleeding.

How Is Thrombocytopenia Diagnosed?
Your doctor will diagnose thrombocytopenia based on your medical history, a physical exam, and test results. A hematologist also may be involved in your care.
Thrombocytopenia caused by reduced production in the bone marrow is more severe than destruction of platelets as in ITP.
Thrombocytopenia is a condition in which the blood contains a reduced number of platelets, which are necessary for blood clotting.

Drug-induced immune thrombocytopenia is a condition in which the use of certain drugs leads to the formation of antibodies against clot-forming cells in the blood (platelets).
The most severe cases of dyserythropoietic anemia and thrombocytopenia are characterized by hydrops fetalis, a condition in which excess fluid builds up in the body before birth.

Thrombocytopenia
Decrease in blood platelets.
Thromboembolus
A clot of material that breaks free from a primary site, is transported in the bloodstream and becomes lodged and adhered at a secondary site.
Thrombocytopenia
Thrombocytopenia may be acquired or congenital. It represents a defective or decreased production of platelets.
Thrombocytopenia (pronounced: throm-buh-syte-uh-pee-nee-uh), or a lower than normal number of platelets, is usually diagnosed because a person has abnormal bruising or bleeding.
Thrombocytopenia (Thrombocytopaenia)
Thrombocytopenia refers to an abnormally low number of platelets in the blood. As the major role of platelets is to help the blood to clot, thrombocytopenia may lead to abnormal bleeding.
Thrombocytopenia: An abnormally low number of platelets. Too few platelets can allow bleeding to occur.
Thrombocytosis: Elevated platelet count.
Thrombocytopenia means low blood platelet count. Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia is low blood platelet count caused by heparin. This condition can lead to a lot of bleeding. In some cases, it can also develop into excessive blood clotting.
Thrombocytopenia. In thrombocytopenia, antibodies attack blood platelets. In such cases, blood clotting is impaired, which causes bruising and bleeding from the skin, nose, gums, or intestines.
Thrombocytopenia occurring in the absence of toxic exposure or a disease associated with decreased platelets.
Thrombocytopenia refers to an abnormally low number of platelets (blood cells produced in the bone marrow, that help form blood clots and stop bleeding).
Thrombocytopenia is the medical term for a low platelet count. Idiopathic means unknown cause. Purpura refers to the pin-prick bleeding under the surface of the skin that is a symptom of the low platelet count.
Thrombocytopenia occurs when there are inadequate levels of platelets in the blood. Platelets stop bleeding by clotting the blood. Signs of thrombocytopenia include:
Bleeding easily, especially from the nose and gums
Bruising easily ...

Thrombocytopenia - In some patients, APS leads to a decrease in the number of cells known as platelets. This condition is known as thrombocytopenia.
Thrombocytopenia. This means there is a low level of platelets in your blood. If it's severe, it can sometimes lead to bleeding from your capillaries (smallest blood vessels).

thrombocytopenia - a condition in which there are too few platelets (cells produced in the bone marrow that are needed for clotting).
Thrombocytopenia can occur in mastocytosis. Thrombocytopenia is a reduction of the number of platelets in the blood. Platelets are cells that help stop bleeding by changing the blood from a liquid to solid form.
Thrombocytopenia (low platelet count)
Unlike anemia, there is no agent available that reliably increases the platelet count for conditions involving underproduction of platelets in the bone marrow.
