The main causes of thrombocytopenia are reduced platelet production and excessive platelet destruction.
1. Reduced platelet production: mainly due to disease factors, such as aplastic anemia, acute leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome and other diseases, due to the low hematopoietic function of the bone marrow, or the bone marrow is infiltrated by leukemia cells, resulting in reduced platelet production. In addition, the lack of hematopoietic raw materials can also lead to reduced platelet production.
2. Excessive platelet destruction: mainly immune thrombocytopenia and systemic lupus erythematosus, etc., due to immune dysfunction, resulting in excessive platelet destruction. Some non-immune factors can also cause an increase in platelet destruction, such as DIC, acute respiratory distress syndrome.
There are many reasons for thrombocytopenia, it is recommended to go to the hospital for further treatment, to clarify the cause, under the guidance of the physician to receive treatment, do not take medication without authorization.
