Yusra Iqbal: The Clinical Spectrum of Platelet Disorders
Yusra Iqbal, Medical Writer and Hematologist at University of Child Health Sciences and Children Hospital Lahore, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Platelet disorders are one of the most misunderstood causes of bleeding.
From thrombocytopenia to platelet dysfunction and even vascular causes — normal PT/APTT does not mean normal haemostasis.
This visual summary covers the complete approach to platelet disorders:
- Production defects
- Immune destruction (ITP)
- Inherited platelet function disorders (GT, BSS, Storage pool)
- Acquired dysfunction due to drugs, systemic and hematologic diseases
- Vascular bleeding disorders with normal labs.
A structured way to think when you see:
- Petechiae
- Purpura
- Mucosal bleeding
- Normal coagulation profile
Because understanding platelets means understanding primary haemostasis.”
