Abstract
The term ‘platelet disorder’ covers a very large and heterogeneous group of diseases that have a multitude of causes. Platelet disorders are either inherited or acquired and are due to an abnormality of platelet number (quantitative disorder), an abnormality of platelet function (qualitative disorder), or a combination of both. This chapter addresses the causes, diagnosis, and management of platelet disorders.
