This article discusses various etiologies of disorders of low platelets and current therapies for management” Greenberg (2017).

Low platelet counts, or thrombocytopenia, leave patients at an increased risk of hemorrhage. This article discusses various etiologies of disorders of low platelets and current therapies for management.
