Anticoagulant Induced Pseudothrombocytopenia- An Incidental Finding
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RECENT TRENDS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2014, Vol 9, Issue 3
Abstract
Thrombocytopenia may be caused either by impaired platelet production or due to accelerated platelet destruction. In some cases, there is an erroneously low reading of platelet counts in the automated analyzers, without any clinical symptoms. In these situations, with an absence of a positive history, anticoagulant- induced pseudothrombocytopenia may be considered. This phenomenon, albeit rare, presents in both healthy individuals as well as patients with various diseases. It is important to be aware of the situation in order to prevent misdiagnosis, and unwarranted treatments and transfusions.
