متن کاملDifferential Diagnosis of Thrombocytopenia in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Patients
Thrombocytopenia has remained a major concern in post-haematopoietic stem cell transplant patients. It is a strong negative indicator for survival and is often seen in patients with advanced acute and chronic Graft versus host disease (GVHD). The pathogenesis of thrombocytopenia varies from impaired thrombopoiesis to increased turnover of platelets. The dose of CD34+ cells and that of megakaryo...
