Clinical InformationClinical

  • Jacobsen Distal 11q Deletion Syndrome

    a clinically recognized congenital malformation condition caused by a distal 11q deletion. the features of the syndrome are growth retardation, psychomotor retardation, trigonocephaly, divergent intermittent strabismus, epicanthus, telecanthus, broad nasal bridge, short nose with anteverted nostrils, carp-shaped upper lip, retrognathia, low-set dysmorphic ears, bilateral camptodactyly, and hammertoes. platelet dysfunction is a feature in paris-trousseau type thrombocytopenia.

  • Kasabach-Merritt Syndrome

    rapidly growing vascular lesion along the midline axis of the neck, upper trunk, and extremities that is characterized by consumption coagulopathy; thrombocytopenia; and hemolytic anemia. it is often associated with infantile kaposiform hemangioendothelioma and other vascular tumors such as tufted angioma.

  • Purpura, Thrombocytopenic, Idiopathic

    thrombocytopenia occurring in the absence of toxic exposure or a disease associated with decreased platelets. it is mediated by immune mechanisms, in most cases immunoglobulin g autoantibodies which attach to platelets and subsequently undergo destruction by macrophages. the disease is seen in acute (affecting children) and chronic (adult) forms.

  • Thrombocytopenia

    a subnormal level of blood platelets.

  • Thrombocytopenia, Neonatal Alloimmune

    a condition in newborns caused by immunity of the mother to platelet alloantigens on the fetal platelets. the platelets, coated with maternal antibodies, are destroyed and removed by the fetal mononuclear phagocyte system. affected infants may have intracranial hemorrhages.

  • Phlebovirus

    a genus of the family bunyaviridae comprising many viruses, most of which are transmitted by phlebotomus flies and cause phlebotomus fever. the type species is rift valley fever virus.

  • Severe Fever with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome

    a tick-borne infection with severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome bunyavirus of the genus phlebovirus. it is associated with fever, thrombocytopenia; leukocytopenia, and multiorgan dysfunction. it is found in parts of asia including china, japan, korea and vietnam and can be transmitted from infected domestic animals and humans.

  • Blood Platelets

    non-nucleated disk-shaped cells formed in the megakaryocyte and found in the blood of all mammals. they are mainly involved in blood coagulation.

  • Anasarca

    a condition that is characterized by the presence of generalized edema. causes include congestive heart failure, liver failure, renal failure, and severe malnutrition.

  • Thrombocytopenic Disorder

    a disorder of platelets characterized by a finding of low platelet concentrations (thrombocytopenia) typically below 50,000 platelets per microliter of blood.

Patient EducationClinical

Platelet Disorders

Platelets, also known as thrombocytes, are blood cells. They form in your bone marrow, a sponge-like tissue in your bones. Platelets play a major role in blood clotting. Normally, when one of your blood vessels is injured, you start to bleed.

Footnotes

[1] Not chronic - A diagnosis code that does not fit the criteria for chronic condition (duration, ongoing medical treatment, and limitations) is considered not chronic. Some codes designated as not chronic are acute conditions. Other diagnosis codes that indicate a possible chronic condition, but for which the duration of the illness is not specified in the code description (i.e., we do not know the condition has lasted 12 months or longer) also are considered not chronic.
