Basically, thrombocytopenia is the result of one of these mechanisms or a combination of some of them: Reduced production of platelets due to bone marrow dysfunction, increased destruction of platelets in the body, iatrogenic, and entrapment of platelets in spleen. Several conditions, some of which mentioned below, can activate the mechanisms that ultimately lead to thrombocytopenia.
