Isolated thrombocytopenia is a condition where your platelet levels are low, but other blood cell levels are within a typical range. It’s rare and potentially dangerous. Thrombocytopenia is also known ...

An expert discusses the clinical presentation and diagnosis of immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), emphasizing that isolated thrombocytopenia with mucosal bleeding and petechiae is highly ...

A lightning-fast microscope paired with AI now lets scientists watch platelets form clots in real time, all from a simple arm draw. The technique flagged higher platelet clumping in acute-symptom ...

FIGURE 1. Platelet clumping (blue) was seen on peripheral blood smear. A misdiagnosis would have led to unnecessary tests and treatment. Ms. J, age 55 years, was referred to hematology for evaluation ...

Thrombocytopenia, or a low platelet count, can impair blood clotting, potentially leading to severe bleeding from wounds. Underlying health conditions like autoimmune diseases and cancers, as well as ...

Thrombocytopenia, inherited as a dominant trait, was present in three generations of a kindred. The clinical picture was quite similar to that of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, but ...

In a recent study published in Thrombosis Research, researchers determined plasma signatures of proteins related to or derived from platelets in acute isolated pulmonary embolism (iPE) and deep vein ...

Thrombocytopenia occurs when there aren’t enough platelets, which are tiny blood cells that help with clotting. In some cases, thrombocytopenia is the first sign of acute HIV infection. Severe ...
