Platelet Disorders
Thrombocytopenia of Decreased Platelet Production
• Bone Marrow Disease – include 1o failure, invasion, or injury:
o 1o bone marrow failure – bone marrow idiopathically stops producing blood cells
o Bone marrow invasion – from metastatic cancer, myelofibrosis, or cancer in situ
o Bone marrow injury – reaction to drugs, radiation, chemicals, alcohol
• Nutritional Disorders – leading to lack of compounds necessary to build platelets
• Megaloblastic Anemia – Fe deficiency affects platelet production…
• Hereditary Disorder – involve decreasing megakaryocytes or producing bad megakaryocytes
Immune Thrombocytopenias
• Autoimmune thrombocytopenia – antibodies produced against platelets:
o Acute – more common in children, preceded by viral infection; generally self-limited
o Chronic – commonly seen in women 20-40y, a chronic disorder, have normal bone marrow
▪ Tx – give immunosuppressives, reduce platelet removal by macrophages
o Secondary – associated with disordered lymphoid function (e.g. SLE, lymphoma, leukemia)
• Post-transfusion Purpura – patient’s serum contains antibodies to platelet antigens of donor blood
o Pla1 – most common antigen on a platelet which can have antibody response
o Innocent bystander mechanism – often patient’s own platelets also destroyed in Ig response
• Neonatal Isoimmune Thrombocytopenia – maternal antibodies to neonate platelets transferred in utero
o Mother – is Pla1 negative, and has been previously sensitized to Pla1 ( develops Ig’s
o Neonate – is Pla1 positive, and mother’s transferred serum mounts immune response
Drug-Induced Immune Thrombocytopenia
• Common Drugs – include sulfa drugs, penicillin, gold salts, dilantin, lasix
• Mechanism – several different mechanisms drugs cause immune reaction:
o (Comp. “Hapten Mech”) – drug binds to platelet, Ig recognizes, platelet bystander destroyed
o (Protein/Drug Complex) – drug binds to platelet surface sturcture ( “complex” ( Ig attacks
o (Comp. “In Vivo Sensitization”) – drug binds to platelet surface antigen ( “neo-antigen” ( Ig
• Treatment – REMOVE DRUG!!!
• Thrombosis problem – Ig response invokes complement system on platelets, pro-thrombotic contents
lysed into blood
Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia
• Mild – direct chemical interaction between heparin & platelet surface; premature clearance, rarely ................
