		Thrombocytopenia is an abnormal drop in the number of blood cells involved in forming blood clots.
		Thrombocytopenia is diagnosed by having a blood sample taken and counting the platelets present in the sample.

	Thrombocytopenia (low platelet count) - OhioHealth
		Thrombocytopenia is the medical term for a low blood platelet count.
		Thrombocytopenia often occurs as a result of a separate disease or disorder.
		Sometimes, heparin-induced thrombocytopenia can cause excessive blood clotting instead of bleeding, increasing the risk of clot formation deep within a leg blood vessel or the transport of such a clot to your lungs, which can be life-threatening.

	Tennessee Oncology Treatment - Thrombocytopenia (Low Platelet Counts)
		Thrombocytopenia, or "low platelets", are terms used to describe a low platelet level in the blood.
		Thrombocytopenia confers a risk of bleeding and the magnitude of risk is closely correlated with the severity and duration of thrombocytopenia.
		Patients developing thrombocytopenia require treatment with platelet transfusions and occasionally, admission to the hospital, until the platelets return to sufficient levels in the blood to prevent bleeding.

	Harvard Pilgrim Health Care:
		Thrombocytopenia is an abnormally low level of platelets in the blood.
		In some cases, thrombocytopenia is a chronic (long-lasting) condition that persists for years, but in other cases, it develops suddenly and dramatically.
		How thrombocytopenia is treated depends on its cause and how severe it is. If your thrombocytopenia is mild and is not causing any significant bleeding, your doctor may decide you do not need treatment.

	Thrombocytopenia - VeterinaryPartner.com - a VIN company!
		Signs of thrombocytopenia vary, but can include petechial (small, pinpoint) hemorrhages in the skin or mucous membranes (lining of the mouth, for example), nosebleeds, hematuria (blood in the urine), melena (blood in the feces), and bleeding into the joints or body cavities.
		Major causes of thrombocytopenia are immune-mediated thrombocytopenia (an autoimmune disease), bone marrow cancers, infectious diseases, hereditary diseases (von Willebrand's, for example), drug/vaccination reactions, vasculitis (leading to deep vein thrombosis), and disseminated intravascular coagulation.
		Thrombocytopenia is not common in dogs and cats, although there are several breeds of dogs that are predisposed to it.

	January 1996 - Neonatal Alloimmune Thrombocytopenia
		Neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia is the platelet equivalent of hemolytic (Rh) disease of the newborn, developing as a result of maternal alloimmunization to fetal platelet antigens.
		In typical cases of unanticipated neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia, the mother is healthy and has a normal platelet count, and her pregnancy, labor, and delivery are indistinguishable from those of other low-risk obstetric patients.
		Fetal intracranial hemorrhage due to neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia can occur in utero, and 25-50% of fetal intracranial hemorrhage in untreated mothers may be detected by ultrasonography before the onset of labor (16).

	What is Thrombocytopenia?
		Thrombocytopenia is the medical term that refers to a low or reduced platelet count.
		Thrombocytopenia occurs either when platelets are not replaced at the same rate as loss or when abnormal destruction of platelets occurs.
		Thrombocytopenia can be diagnosed through routine blood work and a complete blood count, which also measures the levels of red and white blood cells.

		Essential thrombocytopenia is a rare blood disease characterized by reduced levels of platelets in the circulating blood.
		False thrombocytopenias may be caused by clotting of the blood or by an immune reaction that leads to clumped platelets that generate low readings of the concentration of platelets.

		Primary immune-mediated thrombocytopenia (also called idiopathic thrombocytopenia or idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura) is characterized by immune-mediated destruction of either circulating platelets or, less commonly, marrow megakaryocytes.
		The thrombocytopenia occurs 3-10 days after repeat vaccination, is usually transient, and may be sufficiently mild that a bleeding tendency will not be evident unless superimposed on another platelet or coagulation disorder.
