Platelets (aka thrombocytes) are small cell fragments that are involved in hemostasis (a complex process which causes the bleeding process to stop) leading to the formaton of â¦ blood clots. Thrombocytopenia refers to the bleeding disorder caused by platelet deficiency or dysfunction.
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an acquired form of thrombocytopenia due to autoantibody-mediated destruction of platelets. The autoantibodies also affect megakaryocytes and impair platelet production. ITP is a diagnosis of exclusion, characterized by isolated thrombocytopenia and the lack of a clinically-apparent condition responsible for the low platelet count; there are no reliable laboratory tests to confirm the diagnosis.
