19 Απρ 2022 · Overview. Thrombocytopenia is a condition in which you have a low blood platelet count. Platelets (thrombocytes) are colorless blood cells that help blood clot. Platelets stop bleeding by clumping and forming plugs in blood vessel injuries.
19 Απρ 2022 · Thrombocytopenia — Comprehensive overview covers symptoms, causes, treatment of a low platelet count.
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) assumes a chronic course in most affected adults. 1 The goal of treatment is to achieve and maintain a hemostatic platelet count (≥30×10 3 /μL for most patients and situations) while minimizing treatment-related morbidity.
4 Ιουλ 2023 · Thrombocytopenia is a platelet count below the lower limit of normal, i.e., 150000/microliter (for adults). This activity reviews the etiology, evaluation, and management of thrombocytopenia and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in improving care for patients with this condition. Objectives: Review the etiology of thrombocytopenia.
Primary immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), also referred to as idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, is an organ-specific autoimmune disorder in which antibodycoated or immune complex-coated platelets are destroyed prematurely by the reticuloendothelial system, resulting in peripheral blood thrombocytopenia.
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) are multisystemic disorders that are characterized by thrombocytopenia, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, and ischemic manifestations, resulting from platelet agglutination in the arterial microvasculature.
In this review we highlight common etiologies seen in adult patients with thrombocytopenia. A brief description and management approach to common conditions, as well as to conditions that may be less frequent but require emergent intervention, is provided.
