How did differentiate the Purpera associated with platelet disorders versus vasculitis?
Platelet: typically asymptomatic, not palpable.
Associated with vasculitis: burn/itch and is palpable
Name five features of coagulation disorders that differentiate from platelet disorders
One. Bleeding sources often intramuscular or deep soft tissue haematoma from small arterials.
Two congenital form of disease occurs predominantly in men
Three bleeding after surgery or trauma but maybe delayed in onset up to 72 hours
Four. Epistaxis, menorahaggia, G.I. sources of bleeding are rare, whereas haematuria and haemarthrosis are common and severe cases.

What are the main mechanisms of platelet disorders or low platelets?
One. Decrease production.
Two. Increased destruction.

In low platelet disorders, what kind of things can cause decreased production
Drugs.
Toxins
Infection.
Hereditary concerns.
Can also be splenic sequestration
In disorders with low platelets, what kind of increased destruction categories and diseases might be seen?
One. Immunologic – vascular disease, lymphoma, leukemia, drug related, infection, post, transfusion, immune thrombopenia.
Mechanical: DC, TTP, HELLP
Vasculitis
Dilutional
What kind of platelet disfunction does Bon Willebrand’s disease have?
Adhesion defects
