Overview
There are two broad mechanisms for the causes of thrombocytopenia: Reduced platelet production and increased platelet destruction. Thrombocytopenia is seen in a variety of infectious and genetic disorders as well as a side effect of a large list of medications.
Causes
Life Threatening Causes
Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.
Common Causes
- Abruptio placentae[1]
- Bone marrow suppression (chemotherapy, irradiation)
- Cardica bypass[1]
- Chronic alcohol use
- Chronic liver disease[2]
- Common variable immunodeficiency[1]
- Congenital thrombocytopenia
- Connective tissue disorders (eg SLE, RA, antiphospholipid syndrome)[1]
- Disseminated intravascular coagulation[2]
- GP IIb/IIIa inhibitor[1]
- Hemolytic uremic syndrome
- Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia
- Immune thrombocytopenic purpura[3]
- Infections[2]
- Macrophage-activation syndrome[1]
- Medications[2]
- Preeclampsia
