Thrombocytopenia
Rationale: Thrombocytopenia is defined as a decrease in the number of circulating platelets from the normal value of 150,000/µL. Hemophilia is a disorder of secondary hemostasis; it is a chronic condition that arises from the inheritance of mutated genes that control some of the clotting factors, VIII or IX. Aplastic anemia is a disorder characterized by severe pancytopenia (low or absent red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets) in both the periphery and bone marrow. Iron deficiency anemia is a common underlying cause of anemia representative of insufficient or depleted iron supplies.
