Platelet Disorders

Thrombocytopenia is the label given to a condition in which there are too few platelets. Platelets are small particles in the blood that help initiate the process of blood coagulation. Thrombocytopenia may be caused by immune problems, primary bone marrow disorders (e.g., aplastic anemia), disorders that consume platelets (such as big spleens and certain coagulation disorders), medications and radiation.
