Wikipedia

  1. Thrombocytopenia

    Thrombocytopenia is a condition characterized by abnormally low levels of platelets, also known as thrombocytes, in the blood. 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.A normal human platelet count ranges from 150,000 to 450,000 platelets/microliter (μl) of blood. Values outside this range do not necessarily indicate disease. One common definition of thrombocytopenia requiring emergency treatment is a platelet count below 50,000/μl. Thrombocytopenia can be contrasted with the conditions associated with an abnormally high level of platelets in the blood - thrombocythemia (when the cause is unknown), and thrombocytosis (when the cause is known).

  1. thrombocytopenia

    Thrombocytopenia is a medical condition characterized by an abnormally low count of platelets, also known as thrombocytes, in the blood. Platelets are crucial for normal blood clotting, so individuals with thrombocytopenia are at a higher risk of excessive bleeding, brusing easily, and slow wound healing. This condition can be caused by various factors, ranging from chronic illnesses to certain medications or treatments.

  1. Thrombocytopenia

    The terms thrombocytopenia and thrombopenia refer to a relative decrease of platelets in blood. A normal human platelet count ranges from 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per microlitre of blood. These limits are determined by the 2.5th lower and upper percentile, so values outside this range do not necessarily indicate disease. One common definition of thrombocytopenia is a platelet count below 50,000 per microlitre.
