Platelet Disorders

Platelet disorders encompass a range of conditions affecting blood clotting and hemostasis. Thrombocytopenia involves a low platelet count, often resulting from conditions like immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), medications, or bone marrow disorders.

Thrombocytosis, on the other hand, signifies an elevated platelet count and can be reactive or associated with myeloproliferative disorders. Disorders like von Willebrand disease affect platelet function, impairing blood clotting.

Symptoms include easy bruising, prolonged bleeding, or, in severe cases, spontaneous bleeding.
Diagnosis involves blood tests and, in some cases, bone marrow examination. Treatment depends on the specific disorder but may include medications, blood transfusions, or addressing underlying causes. Regular monitoring is crucial for managing platelet disorders and preventing complications.
