Thrombocytopenia Directory

Thrombocytopenia is a condition in which you have a low blood platelet count. Platelets (thrombocytes) are cell fragments that help your blood clot. If you cut yourself, platelets stop blood loss by clumping together. A number of medical conditions can cause thrombocytopenia, including leukemia and immune system disorders.
