Thrombocytopenia, or low platelet count, can be caused by several factors, including decreased production of platelets in the bone marrow due to conditions like aplastic anemia or leukemia, increased destruction of platelets from autoimmune disorders such as immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), or sequestration in the spleen due to splenomegaly. Additionally, certain medications, infections, and chronic liver disease can also contribute to thrombocytopenia. Identifying the underlying cause is crucial for effective treatment.
