It’s time to watch a game of women’s baseball while we discuss platelet disorders that can lead to abnormal bleeding, so batter up! We start by distinguishing between quantitative (low platelet count) and qualitative (dysfunctional platelets) platelet disorders, then discuss their symptoms like mucocutaneous bleeding, petechiae, and bruising. We then discuss key diagnostic tests such as platelet counts and bleeding time, and then finally discuss the specific platelet disorders, which include immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), and von Willebrand disease (VWD).
