book describes Thrombocytopenia (Abnormally Low Platelets), Diagnosis and Treatment and Related Diseases</p><p>Today I have a patient who was found to have low platelets (34,000 per micro-liter blood) as compared to normal (150,000 to 400,000) on a pre-employment medical examination.</p><p>He said that he bruises easily after an injury.</p><p>He had no fever or infection such as dengue fever which can lower blood counts.</p><p>He has no enlarged spleen or liver which may suggest Immune Thrombocytopenia Purpura,</p><p>However his brother also has low platelets which suggest hereditary thrombocytopenia or low platelets.</p><p>I reassured him and suggested avoiding skin or body injuries which in the case of low platelets may cause excess bleeding.</p><p>Thrombocytopenia (Abnormally Low Platelets) is a medical disorder in which the blood has a less than the normal number of blood cell fragments termed platelets.</p><p>Platelets are formed in the bone marrow together with other kinds of blood cells.</p><p>They join together (clot) to seal small cuts or tears on blood vessel walls and stop bleeding that may happen if a blood vessel is injured.</p><p>Since a clot also is termed a thrombus, platelets also are termed thrombocytes.</p><p>The normal platelet count in adults differs from 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per micro-liter of blood.</p><p>A blood cell count of less than 150,000 platelets per micro-liter is less than the normal value.</p><p>If the blood platelet count falls lower than normal, the person has thrombocytopenia.</p><p>When the blood has insufficient platelets, mild to severe bleeding can happen.</p><p>If there is not adequate platelets, bleeding can happen inside the body (internal bleeding) or underneath or from the skin (external bleeding).</p><p>Purpura is produced by bleeding from small blood vessels under the skin.</p><p>People who have low platelets may have bleeding that induces tiny red or purple dots on the skin.</p><p>These tiny pin-sized red dots are termed petechiae.</p><p>The danger for serious bleeding does not happen until the count becomes very low (less than 10,000 or 20,000 platelets per micro-liter).</p><p>Mild bleeding occasionally happens when the count is fewer than 50,000 platelets per micro-liter.</p><p>Thrombocytopenia can happen alone.</p><p>Or, it can form as a complication of another disease, such as cancer or a viral infection.</p><p>In some cases, it is a chronic disorder that lasts for years.</p><p>In other cases, it happens suddenly and dramatically.</p><p>The causes of Thrombocytopenia are:</p><p>The bodys bone marrow does not produce adequate platelets.<br />The bone marrow produces adequate platelets but the body antibodies damages and destroys the platelets or makes use of the platelets.<br />The spleen comprises too many platelets in its organ tissues.</p><p>Most cases of thrombocytopenia normally have no symptoms.</p><p>Low platelets are often observed on a routine blood test.</p><p>Mild to severe bleeding causes the principal signs and symptoms of thrombocytopenia.</p><p>People who have low platelets also may have bleeding from the nose and gums or monthly menses</p><p>Bleeding can happen:<br />Internal bleeding<br />External bleeding</p><p>Diagnosis<br />Full blood count<br />Blood smear<br />Bone marrow tests</p><p>Treatment for low platelets is dependent on its cause and severity.</p><p>The main purpose of treatment is to prevent death and disability brought about by bleeding.</p><p>If the low platelets disorder is mild, there is no need for treatment.</p><p>Other treatments<br />Steroids<br />Immunosupressants<br />Transfusion of platelets<br />Splenectomy</p><p>TABLE OF CONTENT<br />Introduction<br />Chapter 1
