Platelets are produced from the fragmentation of bone marrow megakaryocytes and then are released into the circulation where they play an important role in hemostasis by forming a platelet plug when needed. They do this by binding to a damaged vessel wall‚ which is then stabilized by fibrin. When platelets are prematurely destroyed‚ it causes abnormal hemostasis. Thrombocytopenia is the
