   Differentiation of platelet versus coagulation defects, presentation, bleeding caused by qualitative platelet disorders and many more topics.  
   http://www.vh.org/adult/provider/familymedicine/FPHandbook/Chapter06/01-6.html
   
   Extractions: Presentation Can often determine type of bleeding disorder by history and physical. Is there a family history of bleeding after minor surgical procedures, dental procedures, childbirth, or other trauma? Is this an isolated event, or has the patient had other bleeding episodes? Is the patient receiving medications that can cause a bleeding problem? Many drugs can contribute to bleeding, including semisynthetic penicillins, calcium channel blockers,cephalosporins, dipyridamole, thiazides, alcohol, quinidine, chlorpromazine, sulfonamides, INH, rifampin, methyldopa, phenytoin, barbiturates, warfarin, heparin, thrombolytic agents, NSAIDs and ASA, diuretics, allopurinol, TMP/SMX, and many others. Differentiation of Platelet versus Coagulation Defect Platelet defects Coagulation system defects . "Deep" bleeding (in the joint spaces, muscles, and retroperitoneal spaces) is common. Observed on exam as hematomas and hemarthroses.

   Participate in Fight platelet disorders The Race is On Help raise funds for research on platelet disorders and help raise awareness too.  
   http://www.pdsa.org/race.htm
   
   Extractions: Help raise funds for research on platelet disorders and help raise awareness too. There are no cures for immune thrombocytopenic purpura and many other platelet disorders . While more is known each year, there are many mysteries to be solved. Not only that, many people don't know about these problems or ways they can help. Click for more information on our research program (Note: All contributions to our research fund are tax deductible!) Look for an existing walking, running, rollerblading or other event in which you would like to participate (or just watch!) Then collect pledges from your family, co-workers, neighbors, etc. for your participation. (See below for pledge form) If you collect $100 or more in pledges (or send us a contribution of $100 or more for our research fund) we will send you a special 'Fight Platelet Disorders' T-shirt. Proudly wear your T-shirt so others can learn about the need to solve platelet problems. Then send the pledged amount to us and we will send you a certificate of appreciation.

   Extractions: Please note that Dr. Semple does not endorse nor advocate the use of any products advertized by Angelfire on this site. The only therapies that are "proven" to help patients with ITP are those that have undergone extensive prospective clinical trials. Herbal formalas HAVE NOT been "proven" to help patients with ITP because they HAVE NOT undergone the scutiny of clinical trials. The Charlatans that advocate their use are simply trying to get your money. PLEASE BEWARE. I'm an Associate Professor at the University of Toronto and my lab is located at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto, Canada. I'm currently a member of the Toronto Platelet Immunobiology Group (affectionately known as TPIG ). Its a network of scientists and physcians which are committed to transfusion immunology research. We are also active in disseminating information about immune blood cell disorders. The group has close links with the Hospital for Sick Children , and the Canadian Blood Services.

12. Platelet Disorders
    platelet disorders can be divided into disorders of platelet function or number.  
    http://www.clevelandclinicmeded.com/diseasemanagement/hematology/platelet/platel
    
    Extractions: Platelet Underproduction References THROMBOCYTOPENIAS Thrombocytopenia is defined as a platelet count less than 150,000/mm . With normal platelet function, thrombocytopenia is rarely the cause of bleeding unless the count is less than 50,000/mm . Thrombocytopenia should always be confirmed by examination of a peripheral smear. It can be caused by decreased platelet production, increased destruction, sequestration, or a combination of these causes. PLATELET UNDERPRODUCTION The hallmark of platelet underproduction is decreased marrow megakaryocytes (or, when available, a decreased peripheral blood reticulated platelet count). Common causes include infections (including HIV); drugs (frequently chemotherapy or ethanol, but other medications in rare instances); radiotherapy; vitamin deficiency (folate or vitamin B
