Secondary thrombocytopenia - what does this mean
Secondary thrombocytopenia is a decrease in the number of platelets in the blood caused by another underlying condition, such as an autoimmune disorder, cancer, or infection. it can also be caused by certain medications or by a failure of the bone marrow to produce enough platelets.
What happens during the disease - secondary thrombocytopenia
Secondary thrombocytopenia is a condition in which the platelet count is decreased due to destruction of platelets or decreased production of platelets. it is caused by a variety of underlying conditions such as infections, autoimmune disorders, medications, and cancers. in some cases, the underlying condition may directly lead to platelet destruction while in other cases, the condition may lead to decreased production of platelets in the bone marrow. in some cases, the platelet destruction or decreased production can be so severe that it leads to a decrease in the platelet count.
