Overview
High risk patients for thrombocytopenia include: Have certain types of cancer, aplastic anemia, or autoimmune diseases, are exposed to certain toxic chemicals, have a reaction to certain medicines, have certain viruses, and have certain genetic conditions.
Risk Factors
People who are at highest risk for thrombocytopenia are those affected by one of the conditions or factors discussed in the "Causes" section. This includes people who:
- Have certain types of cancer, aplastic anemia, or autoimmune diseases
- Are exposed to certain toxic chemicals
- Have a reaction to certain medicines
- Have certain viruses
- Have certain genetic conditions
People at highest risk also include heavy alcohol drinkers and pregnant women.[1]
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, especially if with cirrhosis, may be associated with thrombocytopenia[2][3].
