A less severe form of the disease, X-linked thrombocytopenia, affects mainly the platelets.
All patients required a dose modification of gemcitabine at some point in their therapy; the primary reason was thrombocytopenia and/or neutropenia.
An abnormally low platelet level (thrombocytopenia) is a condition that may result from increased destruction of platelets, decreased production, or increased usage of platelets.
As you know, I have had mild thrombocytopenia during both of my previous pregnancies.
Autoimmune diseases such as autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA), immune thrombocytopenia purpura (ITP), rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmune thyroiditis, and systemic lupus erythematosus are sometimes associated with CVID.
Back Summary of cases All 6 analyzed cases had had previous pregnancies, none complicated by clinically apparent neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (NAIT ).
Back Summary of cases All 6 analyzed cases had had previous pregnancies, none complicated by clinically apparent neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (NAIT).
Cases of neonatal thrombocytopenia, of fetal or neonatal jaundice have been reported with maternal thiazide therapy.
Corticosteroids and immune globulin may be given in an attempt to improve thrombocytopenia.
Except for transient thrombocytopenia in two patients there was no toxicity.
Grade 4 thrombocytopenia occurred in 6.8% of patients.
However, in the condition known as thrombotic thrombocytopenia purpura the use of platelet concentrates is in fact particularly hazardous.
Humans developed thrombocytopenia, a lack of the type of blood cells that are needed for clotting.
In cases with severe thrombocytopenia, a diagnosis of AITP is likely to be made.
In the UK there is an imported anti-D IgG preparation available for use in immune-mediated thrombocytopenia on a named-patient basis.
In WAS, the platelets are often too few (called thrombocytopenia) and too small.
Kasabach-Merrit syndrome-A combination of rapidly enlarging hemangioma and thrombocytopenia; it is usually clinically evident during early infancy, but occasionally the onset is later.
More recent studies with vancomycin and teicoplanin have shown that the thrombocytopenia associated with these drugs is also antibody mediated.
Other names for ITP include purpura hemorrhagica and essential thrombocytopenia.
Practice point Carbamazepine may occasionally cause leucopenia and other disorders including thrombocytopenia.
Quinine and quinidine In a small number of patients using quinine, or its stereoisomer quinidine, profound thrombocytopenia may occur.
Secondary acquired thrombocytopenia is best alleviated by treating the underlying cause or disorder.
Sometimes antibodies causing thrombocytopenia arise in a patient with a specific disease in which abnormal production of other antibodies may occur.
Tests for thrombocytopenia include coagulation tests that may reveal a decreased platelet count and prolonged bleeding time.
The mild form, X-linked thrombocytopenia, is also caused by mutations in this same gene.
The patient displayed moderate leukocytosis, anemia and thrombocytopenia.
The presence of fever, for example, does not indicate ITP, whereas fever may occur in lupus and some other types of thrombocytopenia.
The spleen is sometimes removed to improve thrombocytopenia.
There are several causes of thrombocytopenia, which is more commonly acquired as a result of another disorder.
This disease also includes idiopathic thrombocytopenia.
Thrombocytopenia is the most common coagulation disorder.
Thrombocytopenia may be acquired or congenital (existing at birth).
Thrombocytopenia, the most common cause of coagulation disorder, is characterized by reduced numbers of circulating platelets in the blood.
Toxicity included leukopenia (8 patients) and thrombocytopenia (7 patients ).
True heparin-induced thrombocytopenia is also often complicated by venous or arterial thrombosis not a feature in the 2 cases reported here.
