  2. Thrombocytopenia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrombocytopenia

    It is the most common coagulation disorder among intensive care patients and is seen in a fifth of medical patients and a third of surgical patients. [3] 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.

  3. Platelet transfusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platelet_transfusion

    However, this benefit was only seen in certain patient groups, and people undergoing an autologous stem cell transplant derived no obvious benefit. [15] Despite prophylactic platelet transfusions, people with blood cancers often bleed, and other risk factors for bleeding such as inflammation and duration of thrombocytopenia should be considered ...

    Other causes of thrombocytopenia which may occur in pregnancy, such as drug induced thrombocytopenia, hereditary thrombocytopenia and pseudothrombocytopenia should also be ruled out. [63] ITP can be difficult to distinguish from gestational thrombocytopenia (which is by far the most common cause of thrombocytopenia in pregnancy). Unlike ITP ...

  5. Plateletpheresis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plateletpheresis

    Those with active bleeding or prior to surgery should have a threshold of 50,000/μL. An unconfirmed, but helpful, way to determine whether a patient is recovering from chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia is to measure "reticulated" platelets, or young RNA-containing platelets, which signifies that the patient is starting to make new platelets.

  6. Post-transfusion purpura - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-transfusion_purpura

    These alloantibodies destroy the patient's platelets leading to thrombocytopenia, a rapid decline in platelet count. [1] PTP usually presents 5–12 days after transfusion, and is a potentially fatal condition in rare cases. Approximately 85% of cases occur in women. [2]

  7. Coagulopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coagulopathy

    Coagulopathy (also called a bleeding disorder) is a condition in which the blood's ability to coagulate (form clots) is impaired. [1] This condition can cause a tendency toward prolonged or excessive bleeding (bleeding diathesis), which may occur spontaneously or following an injury or medical and dental procedures.
