Qualitative Platelet Disorders What are platelets? Platelets are small disc shaped cells that are formed in the bone marrow. Seventy to eighty percent of platelets circulate in the bloodstream while the remainders are stored in the spleen. The average platelet lives about 10 days. Platelets play a crucial role in helping blood to clot. The primary functions of platelets are adhesion, aggregation, activation and secretion (Table I). A defect in any one of these functions will result in an increased tendency to bleed. Table I

Prevention Definition: Acquired platelet function defects are non-hereditary diseases or associated conditions that cause the platelets (the blood cells essential for coagulation) to not function properly. Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Platelets are blood cells that are essential for blood clotting. Platelet disorders can include inappropriate number of platelets (too many or too few), or normal number but inappropriate functioning of the platelets. Any platelet disorder affects blood clotting. Disorders of platelet function can be caused by congenital diseases or acquired conditions. Acquired platelet function disorders are disorders of inappropriate platelet function, and that develop as a result of another disease or condition (acquired). In many cases, the platelet count may be normal or even elevated, but evidence of a bleeding disorder will be present.

Medical Encyclopedia Blood Clot Formation Blood clotting normally occurs when there is damage to a blood vessel. Platelets, which come from white blood cell fragments, immediately begin to adhere to the cut edges of the vessel and release chemicals to attract even more platelets. A platelet plug is formed, and the external bleeding stops. Next, small molecules, called clotting factors, cause strands of blood-borne materials, called fibrin, to stick together and seal the inside of the wound. Eventually, the cut blood vessel heals and the blood clot dissolves after a few days.

Home Factor V Leiden Antiphospholipid Syndrome General Clotting Information ... Protein S deficiency To understand the possible disorders associated with the blood clotting (coagulation) system, consider the goal of the system: to prevent excess bleeding. If the clotting system can not adequately form clots (thrombi), then the result is a bleeding disorder (hemophilia); if the clotting system forms clots too easily, then the result is formation of excess clots (thrombophilia). For more information on how blood forms clots, please see the web page on general clotting information. Platelet Disorders: Platelet disorders occur when there are too few platelets, too many platelets or a normal number of platelets that do not function in the normal manner. Having too few platelet or platelets that do not function well (for example, aspirin use) can lead to a bleeding tendency (hemophilia). Likewise, too many platelets can predispose to a tendency to clot excessively (thrombophilia). Platelet function can be altered in many different situations; many medications to treat diseases such as strokes and heart attacks were specifically designed to alter the ability of platelets to form clots. There are also a number of diseases that can alter how well a platelet can function.
