Significant spontaneous bleeding usually does not occur until platelet counts are <10,000 to 20,000/µL. 1 Severe thrombocytopenia confers a greater risk for bleeding, but correlation between the ...

Bleeding risk assessment in ITP patients directly correlates with platelet count - the lower the number, the higher the potential for bleeding. The risk is highest when counts fall below 10,000 ...

Platelets are round cells in your blood that help it clot. Because of this mutation, people with GT may experience prolonged and spontaneous bleeding as a result of a genetic mutation.

Pediatric ITP is a rare bleeding disorder affecting 5 to 10 per 100,000 children annually. Many of the patients often experience spontaneous remission within 6 to 12 months of diagnosis and can be ...

The study showed that the minimum platelet count for safe colon polypectomy was 90,000/㎕ (90,000 per microliter). Patients with platelet levels below 90,000/㎕ had an immediate hemorrhage risk ...

RESULTS: Bleeding occurred during 9% of cycles among patients with previous bleeding episodes (P < .0001), baseline platelets less than 75,000/μL (P < .0001), bone marrow metastases (P = .001), poor ...

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday amended the fact sheet for Johnson & Johnson's COVID-19 vaccine to include a rare risk of immune thrombocytopenia, a bleeding disorder.
