Abstract

Introduction

Thrombocytopenia is a disorder in which there are too few platelets in the blood. Platelets are small, disk-shaped cellular structures in the bloodstream that help the blood to clot. Thus thrombocytopenia is often characterized by excessive bleeding, including epistaxis and easy bruising. Thrombocytopenia can be diagnosed by a routine blood test. Thrombocytopenia arises for one of three reasons, the bone marrow may not produce enough platelets, too many platelets may be destroyed in the spleen, and thrombocytopenia can be caused by a variety of conditions.
