Description
MSH2017_2016_08_12:Disorders caused by abnormalities in platelet count or function.|MEDLINEPLUS_20151021:<p>Platelets are little pieces of blood cells. Platelets help wounds heal and prevent bleeding by forming <a href='https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/bloodclots.html'>blood clots</a>. Your bone marrow makes platelets. Problems can result from having too few or too many platelets, or from platelets that do not work properly. </p> <p> If your blood has a low number of platelets, you can be at risk for mild to serious <a href='https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/bleeding.html'>bleeding</a>. If your blood has too many platelets, you may have a higher risk of blood clots. With other platelet disorders, the platelets do not work as they should. For example, in von Willebrand Disease, the platelets cannot stick together or cannot attach to blood vessel walls. This can cause excessive bleeding. </p> <p> Treatment of platelet disorders depends on the cause. </p> <p >NIH: National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute</p>|CSP2006:qualitative disorder of the blood platelets, due mainly to deficiency of platelet factor 3.|CSP2006:disorders caused by abnormalities in platelet count or function.
