Thrombocytopenia:
Decrease in Circulating Platelets
•________ Platelet
• Most common cause of clinically important bleeding
< 100,000/uL
• poorly prepared blood films or automated cell counts
THROMBOCYTOPENIA ARTIFACT
• HEMORRAGES OF DIFFERENT SIZES: (3)
petechiae, purpura, ecchymoses
Thrombocytopenia: Decreased Circulating Platelets
• High Risk: _______= spontaneous bleeding
<10,000/uL
Thrombocytopenia:
Decrease in Circulating Platelets
Primary Pathophysiologic Processes
(3)
• Decreases platelet production
• Increases platelet destruction
• Abnormal distribution (sequestration)
• Can result from a lack of adequate megakaryocytes in the bone marrow (megakaryocyte hypoplasia) or ineffective platelet production (thrombopoiesis)
Decrease Platelet Production
Decrease Platelet Production
• Can result from a lack of _______ or_______
adequate megakaryocytes in the bone marrow (megakaryocyte hypoplasia)
ineffective platelet production (thrombopoiesis)

• FUNCTION:____
• MUTATION:____ gene => abnormal size of platelets
• Asymptomatic unless severe thrombocytopenia is present
• Severe cases = transfusion with platelets
NORMAL

MYH9 GENE
deafness, cataracts and nephritis
deafness, ocular problems and glomerular nephritis
Decreased Platelet Production
• Rare autosomal recessive disorder a Characterized by:
