Thrombocytopenia refers to platelet count.
The causes of thrombocytopenia are hereditary, such as anemia, congenital megakaryocytopenia with malformation and May-haegelin abnormality. Acquired aplastic anemia, bone marrow infiltration (malignant tumor, bone marrow metastasis, leukemia, bone marrow fibrosis, tuberculosis), chemotherapy drugs, radiotherapy, megakaryocyte aplastic anemia, viral infection (measles, mumps), drugs that affect platelet production (such as alcohol), vitamin B 12, and folic acid deficiency.
Increased platelet destruction caused by non-immune factors: thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, pregnancy, infection, hemangioma-thrombocytopenia syndrome, snake bite, acute respiratory distress syndrome, severe burns, etc.
Increased platelet destruction caused by immune factors: immune thrombocytopenic purpura, HIV infection, periodic thrombocytopenia, drug-induced thrombocytopenia (heparin, quinine, antipyretic and analgesic drugs, penicillin, cephalosporins, rifampicin, furosemide, carbamazepine, sodium valproate, sulfonylureas and phenytoin sodium, etc. ), and thrombocytopenia after blood transfusion.
