Abstract

Thrombocytopenia is defined as platelet count < 1.5 lakhs/cumm. It may result from either decreased production or increased sequestration/destruction of platelets. In the present study maximum number of patients were in the age group 20–39 years, and males were more commonly affected than females. Leukemia cases were found to be the most common causes of decreased production of platelets leading to thrombocytopenia in our study. Inherited Platelet Disorders caused by a variety of genetic defects affecting platelet production, function or both.

To study thrombocytopenia due to decreased production of platelets in adults with study of clinical profile and laboratory parameters in adults with thrombocytopenia.
