When abnormalities occur in any of the following three processes: decreased platelet production by the bone marrow; increased trapping of platelets by the spleen; or a more rapid than normal destruction of platelets. Persons with this condition easily bruise and can have episodes of excess bleeding (a hemorrhage).
There is no known way to prevent thrombocytopenia.
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.

Gestational thrombocytopenia is coded to 649.31 - coagulation defects complicating pregnancy and 287.49 for secondary (gestational)thrombocytopenia.
Thrombocytosis is a condition where the body has more than 450,000 platelets. Having less than 150,000 platelets is called thrombocytopenia.
