Introduction
Hypercoagulable states, sometimes referred to as thrombophilias or thrombotic disorders, are clinical conditions
whereby individuals are predisposed to arterial and/or venous
thromboembolisms [1]. Clinical manifestations of thrombotic disorders can range from the asymptomatic to lethal;
the causes of these manifestations may be complicated and
multifactorial. Research over the last several decades has
aided in identifying many of the risk factors associated with
hypercoagulable states and has helped streamline chronic
management of predisposed individuals. Acute management
of these individuals, such as during surgery, poses a unique
set of challenges for the anesthesia care team.
Individuals with hypercoagulable states are considered
high risk for thromboembolic phenomenon in the perioperative setting [2]. The occurrence of venous thromboembolism
(VTE) in the non-surgical population is 1–2 out of 1000; this
frequency increases anywhere from 10 to 25 out of 1000
depending on the surgical procedure [3]. In addition, the
administration of blood products, which may occur more frequently during surgery, may increase VTE occurrence two
fold to threefold when compared to bloodless surgery [4].
Special consideration and management need to be given to
surgical patients that may receive blood products in the setting of preexisting risk factor(s) for thrombotic disease.
primary (congenital) and secondary (acquired); there are
some conditions of mixed etiology that may fall into both
categories or are of unknown etiology.
Primary (Congenital) Hypercoagulable
States
Primary hypercoagulable states are due to either (1) a defect/
deciency of an antithrombotic protein or (2) an abnormally
increased level of a prothrombotic clotting factor. The most
common conditions are listed in Table6.1.
Antithrombin Deciency
Antithrombin is a natural anticoagulant that inhibits thrombin (factor IIa), factor Xa, and other serine proteases in the
coagulation cascade. Inherited antithrombin deciency is
estimated to occur in 1in 2000–3000 individuals. It is an
autosomal dominant disease with variable penetrance; laboratory evidence does not necessarily lead to the development
of VTE or require maintenance anticoagulant therapy. Type I
Deciency is the most severe and usually is the result of a
quantitative decit of Antithrombin; Type IIb deciency is
less severe and usually the result of a qualitative defect
Hypercoagulable States
Hypercoagulable states have been described since 1856
when Rudolph Virchow described a triad of conditions that
promoted coagulation in the circulatory system [1]. The
majority of these states can be classied into two groups:

within the structure of the Antithrombin protein. Other disease states may indirectly lower the concentration of antithrombin; however, this is usually associated with
abnormalities in other factors, thus making it more difcult
to evaluate and manage these acquired deciencies [1, 5].
Perioperative management of these patients can vary
based on the complexity of the procedure, anticipated blood
loss, and preexisting comorbid situations. As noted, the risk
of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can be as high as 3% in the
general surgical population; the risk may be higher in patients
predisposed to VTE secondary to a thrombophilia such as
Antithrombin Deciency. Preoperative and postoperative
prophylaxis with unfractionated (UFH) or low-molecularweight heparin (LMWH) or Antithrombin concentrates may
be absolutely indicated in this patient population except in
trauma or non-trauma cases with signicant anticipated
blood loss– although the exclusion in the latter group is still
under debate. Intraoperative management is usually routine
and uneventful except in the setting of blood transfusions,
most notably red blood cell (RBC) transfusions. Blood transfusions may impair the balance between coagulation factors
and the inammatory cascade triggering a hypercoagulable
state. While the exact mechanisms are unknown, it is clear
that there is a dose response effect between the number of
RBCs transfused and the risk of a VTE [6]. In the setting of
a known thrombophilia, such as Antithrombin Deciency,
this can be problematic and potentially lethal. Consideration
should be given to blood sparing techniques when possible
as blood transfusions are not without risks. In patients that
require blood transfusions, the use of Antithrombin
concentrates may be given to minimize the risk of a VTE.
ral anticoagulant system; Protein S serves as the binding protein for activated Protein C to form an anticoagulant complex
on cell surfaces. Congenital Protein S deciency (mild) is
estimated to occur in 1 per 500 individuals; severe deciency
is rare, prevalence is unknown, and is associated with a myriad of life-threatening symptoms from birth. It is an autosomal dominant disease caused by a mutation in the PROS1
gene. It has variable penetrance and may be divided into type
I-III based on how the PROS1 gene mutation affects Protein
S.Type I disease is characterized by a quantitative defect in
both total and free Protein S, whereas type II is characterized
by a qualitative defect with normal levels; type III has normal
total levels, but low free protein levels. Types I and III are the
most common and have similar symptomology. Acquired
Protein S deciency can occur to a lesser extent with liver
disease, vitamin K deciency, and pregnancy [
Perioperative management of these patients is based on
the severity of the disease, complexity of the procedure, and
comorbid diseases. The occurrence of VTE in protein Cand/or S-decient patients is considered to be less than that
of patients with Antithrombin Deciency; however, the combination of surgery and a preexisting protein C and/or S deciency is believed to increase one’s risks of perioperative
VTE above the 3% occurrence rate of otherwise healthy surgical patients. The mainstay of preoperative treatment is
UFH or LMWH to reduce this increased risk [

administration of protein C concentrates and/or fresh-frozen
plasma (no protein S concentrate exists) may be given to further reduce the risk of VTE [2].

7]. In patients
Protein C andS Deciency
Protein C deciency causes impaired deactivation of Factors
Va and VIIIa, leading to increased production of thrombin and
brin. Inherited deciency is estimated at about 1 per 200–
500in the general population and up to 15–30 per same number in patients with VTE.It is an autosomal dominant disease
with variable penetrance and, like Antithrombin, may be
divided into two general forms. Type I deciency is characterized by a quantitative reduction in Protein C with a proportionate reduction in functional activity; type II deciencies
are due to a qualitative abnormality in Protein C with a variable reduction in functional activity. Protein C deciency
may also be acquired in certain disease states such as liver
disease, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), and
sepsis [1, 5].
Protein S deciency causes decreased activity of activated
Protein C, thus leading to increased production of thrombin
and brin. Protein S and protein C work in concert as a natu-
Factor V Leiden (Activated Protein C
Resistance)
Factor V is a protein of the coagulation system that once activated works in conjunction with activated Factor X to convert prothrombin to thrombin. Factor V Leiden (FVL) is
caused by a point mutation in the gene that renders the protein resistant to activated Protein C resulting in decreased
breakdown of thrombin and an increased risk of VTE [1].
Heterozygous FVL is very common in individuals of
Caucasian descent. It is present in about 5% of healthy individuals and up to 40–50% in individuals presenting with or
for evaluation of VTE. The homozygous form is rare, but
carries a 10-fold increase in the risk of thrombosis. Most
FVL patients are asymptomatic and usually require another
“hit” or predisposing factor to present with a VTE [5].
Surgery and/or blood transfusions may be the other “hit”
to increase the occurrence of VTE.Standard perioperative
VTE prophylaxis should be followed in these patients;

special considerations should be given to those patients with
a previous history of VTE.No specic guidelines or recommendations currently exist for blood transfusions in the
setting of FVL.As noted, most patients are asymptomatic
even in the setting of blood product administration. In fact,
current studies suggest a benecial link between FVL and
reduced blood loss in cardiovascular surgery. Those same
studies have raised concerns about antibrinolytic therapy
and the increased potential for thrombosis in FVL patients.
FVL may also occur in pregnancy. Whether as a primary
or secondary (acquired) condition, FVL is found in 20–45%
of women with pregnancy-associated VTE. Homozygous
patients carry the highest risk of VTE during pregnancy
when compared to heterozygous patients; the risk of thrombosis during pregnancy is almost 50% greater in FVL
patients as compared to non-FVL patients [1]. Prophylactic
anticoagulation is usually not recommended in patients with
no previous history of VTE; anticoagulation is recommended
in the setting of pregnancy, FVL, and previous VTE [3]. All
patients should be counseled about the risks and benets of
these therapies during pregnancy. Additionally, high-risk
patients should consider a 4- to 6-week course of anticoagulation during the postpartum period. No current recommendations exist for FVL, pregnancy, and blood product
administration.

product administration carries its own risk of thrombosis;
any treatment that lowers homocysteine levels should be
considered for procedures where blood product administration is anticipated.
Hyperhomocysteinemia
Homocysteine is an intermediary amino acid formed by the
metabolism of methionine. Congenital alterations in this
pathway, as well as acquired deciencies in various vitamins
and certain disease states, can produce elevated levels of
homocysteine in the blood. Hyperhomocysteinemia may
predispose individuals to arterial and venous thrombosis [5].
The incidence of hyperhomocysteinemia has been
reported to be as high as 10%; however, the cause is multifactorial and varies greatly across different ethnicities and
geographic regions. Homocysteinemia is suspected to
cause endothelial dysfunction and promote an imbalance
between procoagulant and antithrombotic activity;
decreases in protein C activation, endothelial resistance to
thrombosis, and nitric oxide may play a key role in this
thrombotic disorder [8].
Perioperative management usually consists of standard
DVT prophylaxis– LMWH and placement of pneumatic
lower extremity compression devices. In the patient with
elevated homocysteine levels, administration of pyridoxine, methylcobalamin, and folic acid may help to reduce
homocysteine levels and the risk of a thrombotic event.
Maintenance of euvolemia and avoidance of nitrous oxide
are also recommended for these patients. As noted, blood
Other Primary Hypercoagulable States
A number of other congenital thrombophilia exists such as
Prothrombin Gene Variant, increased levels of specic coagulation factors (VII, XI, IX, and vWF) and tissue plasminogen activator deciency [7]. Many of these other
hypercoagulable states have a much lower occurrence rate
(<2–3% incidence across all populations). Thus, studies and
recommendations are limited regarding management of
these disease states during surgery and in the setting of blood
product administration. As always, treatment should be
patient specic (Table6.2).
Secondary (Acquired) Hypercoagulable
States
Secondary hypercoagulable states encompass a variety of
conditions that may predispose individuals to thrombotic
events. The pathophysiology of these states is usually
complex, multifactorial, and poorly understood. Most individuals with acquired hypercoagulable states are at risk for
both arterial and venous thrombosis due to suspected
abnormalities in all parts of Virchow’s triad of thrombogenesis (Table6.3).

Pregnancy/Puerperium
Pregnancy and puerperium are well-recognized and wellstudied hypercoagulable states. The risk of VTE during pregnancy/puerperium is six to eight times greater than in
non-pregnant women; however, VTEs are still only seen in
approximately 1% of pregnancies [1, 5]. The increased risk
is present for 8–10weeks postpartum and can present with
life- threatening symptoms to both the mother and fetus [9].
The pathophysiology of hypercoagulability during pregnancy and the postpartum period involves a number of anatomical, physiological, and biochemical changes that may
predispose an individual to thrombotic events. There is an
increased concentration of various factors within the coagulation cascade, increased platelet count, and decreased
brinolysis [10, 11]. This imbalance within the coagulation
cascade coupled with stasis from a gravid uterus on lower
extremity venous return increases one’s thrombogenic
potential [12–14].
Concomitant genetic risk (primary), older age, previous
VTE, higher parity, and preeclampsia are independent risk
factors that may further increase one’s predisposition for a
thrombotic event [1, 5, 15].
Diagnosis and management of VTEs in pregnancy can be
challenging. Overlapping signs and symptoms as well as
limited radiologic and laboratory testing can complicate
timely diagnosis of a VTE.Previous history or high suspicion of current VTE is to be treated with anticoagulation for
up to 8weeks postpartum [16, 17]. LMWH or UFH are the
mainstays of therapy as they do not cross the uteroplacental
barrier and allow for timely discontinuation for neuraxial
anesthesia administration [18]. Warfarin is reserved for highrisk cases due to its teratogenic effects and potential for fetal
bleeding. Blood product administration should be judicious
with reasonably high transfusion triggers, reserving administration for the most high-risk patients (placenta accreta,
severe anemia, DIC, etc.) [19–21].
Oral Contraceptives andHormone
Replacement Therapy
The administration of estrogen is associated with a twofold
to six fold increase in the incidence of VTE in individuals
with no other predisposing thrombotic factors [22–24]. Use
of oral contraceptive pills (OCP)/hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is associated with increased levels of Factor VII
and decreased activity of protein S and thrombomodulin
[25]. Smoking, obesity, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, older
age, and immobilization, as well as a primary hypercoagulable disease, may signicantly increase the risk of VTE in
the setting of OCP/HRT [26].

Data from Liem and Deloughery, Seminars in Vasc Surg 2008
Individuals who are considered high risk for VTE or have
previously had a VTE should be candidates for anticoagulation while on OCP/HRT [27, 28]. Prophylaxis with either
LMWH or UFH is recommended and the mainstay of treatment. Blood product administration should be clinically
indicated with reasonable triggers as no additional therapies
exist to reduce the incidence of VTE from blood transfusions
in the setting of OCP/HRT (Table6.4).
Antiphospholipid Syndrome
Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS) is a thrombotic disorder
mainly associated with auto antibodies toward plasma proteins on the surface of phospholipids [5, 29]. Two main subsets of auto antibodies exist in APS – anticardiolipin and
lupus anticoagulant associated with lupus erythematosus [7,
30]. There are secondary states that may be acquired in the
setting of infections, drugs, or collagen vascular diseases.
Regardless of the etiology, venous or arterial thromboembolic phenomenon may occur in up to one-third of individuals with APS [31].
Thrombosis often occurs at unusual sites and may present
with a myriad of symptoms such as skin necrosis– livedo
reticularis, acute renal failure, cerebrovascular pathology
(strokes, ocular disturbances, etc.), or recurrent miscarriages
[32]. APS is the most common cause of initial thrombosis in
pregnancy when compared to other thrombophilias.
Currently, no recommendations exist for anticoagulation in
APS individuals with no history of thromboembolic phenomenon [33]. Individuals with other risk factors or previous
VTE should be placed on long-term anticoagulation therapy;
patients with “high” APS antibody titers should also consider long-term therapy even in the absence of VTE [34, 35].
The mainstay of long-term therapy is warfarin with goal
INRs of 2–3; LMWH may be used in patients with allergies
to warfarin [32, 36].
No current recommendations exist for blood product
administration either. Individuals with APS may have a concomitant quantitative thrombocytopenia. Blood product
administration should be based on reasonable transfusion
triggers and the needs of the individuals.

Other Secondary Hypercoagulable States
Thromboembolic phenomenon may occur in individuals
with gastrointestinal disorders such as inammatory bowel
disease and Behcet’s disease. Intestinal inammation, which
may occur cyclically in these disease states, may activate the
coagulation system and increase the risk of thrombosis [5].
Nephrotic Syndrome may lead to an acquired Antithrombin
III deciency through the excess excretion of protein.
Myeloproliferative disorders can create a myriad of acquired
thrombotic disorders [37, 38].
Hemolytic diseases or diseases with abnormal RBCs,
such as sickle cell disease, may lead to alterations in the
surface of RBCs that promote increased thrombin
formation.
Summary
Hypercoagulable states, or thrombophilias, are disease states
that predispose individuals to thrombotic phenomenon; these
disease states are either congenital or acquired and may present with no symptoms or be life-threatening. The occurrence
of thromboembolic events is usually complex and multifactorial; laboratory testing and treatment will vary based on the
severity of the disease and concomitant co morbidities. The
administration of blood products increases the incidence of
thrombotic events. While specic recommendations do not
exist for blood transfusions in many of these disease states,
caution and judicious practices should be used to minimize
any risks for VTE in predisposed individuals.

Introduction
Platelets are small, anucleate cells circulating in the blood at
concentrations of approximately 150,000–400,000/μL.They
form from projections known as proplatelets off megakaryocytes in the bone marrow. Thrombopoietin is important in the
process of megakaryopoiesis and stimulation ofother stems
cells in the bone marrow [1, 2]. The typical lifespan of a
platelet is 10days before they are removed from circulation
by the spleen [3]. Platelets primarily function in hemostasis.
Platelets contain alpha granules and dense granules, which
play major roles in coagulation. The alpha granules contain
larger proteins (e.g., von Willebrand factor) while the dense
granules contain small non-protein particles (e.g., ADP) [3].
Platelets are involved in inammation and atherosclerosis
related to their production of inammatory mediators (e.g.,
thromboxanes) and aid in cancer progression by impeding
the immune system. They may even be involved in the progression of Alzheimer’s dementia given their ability to carry
amyloid precursor protein. Platelet dysfunction has been

noted in various other systemic diseases such as diabetes
mellitus, liver disease, and renal disease, which can all lead
to plasma membrane alterations that affect their function [4].
There are various inherited and acquired disorders associated with platelets. Inherited platelet disorders are typically
rare compared to the acquired platelet disorders (with the
exception of inherited versus acquired vWF disease) [1]. The
inherited platelet disorders have increased in prevalence in
part due to routine blood counts but are still often misdiagnosed as an acquired platelet disorder or aresimply notclassied, making accurate measurements of prevalence difcult
[2]. These disorders can cause alterations in platelet number
(quantitative) or function (qualitative). The qualitative
changes involve impairment in platelet adhesion, activation,
secretion, or aggregation. The quantitative changes can predispose to thrombosis or bleeding depending on the presence
of thrombocytosis or thrombocytopenia, respectively. The
bleeding from platelet disorders usually involves mucocutaneous bleeding, epistaxis, petechiae, and postsurgical bleeding. This contrasts with the larger and deeper bleeds
associated with hemophilia [1, 3]. Given that several genes
involved with inherited platelet disorders (e.g., WAS, MYH9, GP2B) arealso utilized by other cell lines, multisystem
disease is common with platelet disorders [2, 3].
Related tothe systemic involvement of plateletsin hemostasis and the effects of other diseases on them, platelet disorders are an important consideration for aficted patients.
Up to 25% of the population has thrombocytopenia, which
can cause mild bleeding at plateletconcentrations lower than
100,000/μL [1]. Screening tools in the form of questionnaires have been utilized to screen for platelet disorders
without signicant success, deferring to the patient’sability
to recount a history of bleeding and multisystem involvement as the primary screening modality [1, 3]. When an
inherited disorder is suspected, ow cytometry is commonly
implemented, taking advantage of the fact that platelets do
not contain DNA [4]. Various other tests are used to assess
platelet function (e.g., Aggregation tests) [3]. Many different

drugs, foods, and supplements are known to affect platelet
function (e.g., aspirin). Patients with platelet disorders must
therefore be identied and educated on their bleeding risk
and advisedto avoid compounds which could increase their
risk. The role of platelets should be carefully considered by
the physician when evaluating patients. This chapter focuses
on summarizing platelet disorders,as well as their diagnosis,
management, and perioperative considerations,for the clinical anesthesiologist.
Types ofDisorders
Platelets play an important role in hemostasis, initiation of
blood coagulation, and wound healing [4–7]. Disorders of
platelet function, whether inherited or acquired, can range in
clinical expression from asymptomatic to mild bruising,
mild mucocutaneous bleeding, and even acute lifethreatening bleeding [7–9]. Patients with platelet counts less
than 150×10
3
per μL 10 but greater than 50× 103 per μL
may be clinically asymptomatic. As platelet count continues
to decline, patients may experience petechiae, purpura, and
ecchymoses. Severely low platelet counts can lead to bleeding with minimal trauma and eventually spontaneous bleeding [9, 10].
Platelet disorders encompass a vast spectrum of disease,
varying from syndromes with abnormally decreased platelet
numbers (thrombocytopenia), abnormally increased platelet
numbers (thrombocythemia or thrombocytosis), or abnormal
platelet function [6].
Thrombocytopenia
Thrombocytopenia is a commonly encountered clinical
entity with a multitude of potential etiologies, making diagnosis challenging [11–13]. Potential causes include decreased
platelet production in the bone marrow, increased platelet
destruction or consumption in the periphery, enhanced
splenic sequestration, and hemodilution [14, 15].
Consumptive thrombocytopenic disorders involve
increased consumption of platelets in the periphery, such
as that which occurs in disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), septicemia, and thrombotic microangiopathies such as thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura and
hemolytic- uremic syndrome [15–17]. Platelet destruction
often refers to the clearance of platelets via platelet-reactive antibodies, alloantibodies, or drug-dependent antibodies [15, 18, 19].
Several medications have the potential to lead to thrombocytopenia by either inducing destruction of platelets via
antibody-mediated processes or inhibiting production of
platelets in the bone marrow. Drugs with known potential for
causing drug-induced thrombocytopenia include beta-lactam
antibiotics such as penicillins and cephalosporins, vancomycin, phenytoin, piperacillin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole,
sulfonamides, rifampin, quinine, quinidine, carbamazepine,
abciximab, eptibatide, and tiroban; drugs with the potential for dose-dependent bone marrow suppression include
valproic acid, linezolid, daptomycin, and gold compounds
[
20–29].
Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a lifethreatening condition related to heparin exposure caused by
antibodies recognizing complexes of platelet factor 4 and
heparin. These antibodies also activate platelets and lead to
arterial and venous thrombosis which can be fatal in up to
20% of untreated cases [30, 31].
Acquired causes of decreased bone marrow platelet production include malignancies, chemical agents, or infectious
agents [14]. Thrombocytopenia is a common nding in
patients with solid tumors and may be related to several factors such as tumor inltration of thebone marrow and spleen,
chronic DIC, microangiopathy, alterations in cytokine proles, and the use of chemotherapeutic agents [
32, 33]. In
patients with leukemias, impaired hematopoiesis, abnormalities in hematopoietic cell morphology, and inltration of
bone marrow can lead to thrombocytopenia [34]. Chronic
myeloid leukemia may be the cause of thrombocytopenia
when neutrophilia is also present and infectious etiologies
have been excluded [10]. Signicant elevations in white
blood cell counts accompanying thrombocytopenia may suggest the presence of lymphoid malignancy [35].
If thrombocytopenia is present in the context of neutrophilia, an infectious process should be considered [10].
Several infectious agents are associated with thrombocytopenia, with the most common mechanisms being immunemediated destruction, bone marrow suppression, and
consumption. Some viruses may inuence platelet and
megakaryocyte function and induce the generation of
antiplatelet antibodies [36]. Infection with viruses such as
Epstein-Barr, mumps, rubella, parvovirus, varicella, and
hepatitis C virus may lead to thrombocytopenia.
Thrombocytopenia has also been reported after Zika virus
infection [37]. Since thrombopoietin is produced in the liver,
any viral infection leading to severe hepatitis may potentially
cause thrombocytopenia [38, 39]. In thrombocytopenia
related to chronic hepatitis C infection, bone marrow inhibition, hypersplenism, and auto-immunogenicity are also contributory factors [38, 40].
Mild platelet dysfunction has been associated with consumption of several food products and supplements including onion, cumin, turmeric, curcumin, clove, garlic, sh oil,
and vitamin E, with possible etiologies related to decreased
synthesis of thromboxane A2, decreased metabolism of arachidonic acid, and inhibition of brinogen binding to platelets [41–43].

Thrombocythemia andThrombocytosis
Thrombocytosis, often dened as a platelet count greater
than 450×109/L, has numerous potential causes which can
generally be organized as spurious, reactive, or clonal in
nature [44–46]. Reactive etiologies are the most common,
comprising up to 97% of cases of thrombocytopenia [47,
48]. Patients with thrombocytosis may be at risk of both
thrombotic complications and paradoxical bleeding [46, 49,
50].
A major branchpoint in the diagnostic evaluation of
thrombocytosis involves determining whether a reactive or
clonal process is taking place [46]. Common causes of reactive thrombocytosis include infection, tissue damage, chronic
inammatory disorders, iron deciency anemia, and malignancy [46–48, 51].
After excluding reactive thrombocytosis, a clonal etiology should be investigated. The most common clonal causes
of thrombocytosis are essential thrombocythemia, CML,
polycythemia vera, and primary myelobrosis [46].
Spurious thrombocytosis occurs when non-platelet structures in peripheral blood, such as cryoglobulin crystals, cell
fragments, or bacteria, are counted as platelets by automated
blood counters. This can be avoided by evaluation of a
peripheral blood smear [46].
Inherited Platelet Disorders
Compared to acquired causes, inherited causes of platelet
disorders are less frequent but often portend a higher tendency for bleeding [52, 53]. Although rare, these inherited
platelet disorders have contributed greatly to our understanding of platelet function and hemostasis.
Inherited platelet disorders may affect the number of
platelets or impair normal platelet functions such as adhesion, receptor functionality, secretion, enzymatic activity, or
signaling pathways [2, 54–57]. Inherited thrombocytopathies are often organized into disorders of platelet adhesion,
aggregation, and secretion, [2].
Oftentimes, the platelet phenotype can be of signicance
when evaluating differential diagnosis of thrombocytopenia.
For example, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome and X-linked
thrombocytopenia may both lead to small platelet size [2, 58,
59]. Alternatively, abnormally large platelets may be seen in
disorders such as velocardiofacial syndrome, Mediterranean
macrothrombocytopenia, platelet-type von Willebrand disease, May-Hegglin anomaly, Fechtner syndrome, Sebastian
syndrome, or Epstein syndrome [2, 58, 60–64].
Bernard-Soulier syndrome and platelet-type von
Willebrand disease are examples of disorders of platelet
adhesion. Bernard-Soulier syndrome is an autosomal recessive bleeding syndrome involving defects of the platelet gly-
coproteins Ib, IX, and V, which form a complex to aid in the
adherence of platelets to the vascular endothelium via binding of von Willebrand Factor (vWF) [
65, 66]. The syndrome
is characterized by bleeding tendency, abnormally large
platelets, and thrombocytopenia [53, 66]. Homozygous
mutations typically manifest after birth with purpura, epistaxis, or gingival bleeding [53]. Bleeding tendencies have
been reported in heterozygous individuals, but these patients
more often remain asymptomatic [67, 68]. Platelet-type von
Willebrand disease is a rare autosomal dominant disorder
characterized by increased afnity for glycoprotein Ib for
vWF, leading to abnormal enhanced binding of vWF by
platelets [69–71]. Consequently, complexes of platelets
bound to high-molecular-weight multimers of vWF are
removed from circulation, leading to thrombocytopenia and
decreased levels of vWF multimers [72]. Platelet-type von
Willebrand disease and type 2B von Willebrand disease are
very similar in clinical and laboratory ndings, and diagnosis can be made using genetic analysis [
70, 72]. The former
disorder requires treatment with platelet transfusions, while
the latter requires administration of exogenous vWF [71].
Due to misdiagnosis, the prevalence of platelet-type von
Willebrand disease is likely underestimated [72–74].
Glanzmann’s thrombasthenia is a classic disorder
affecting platelet aggregation. This is an autosomal recessive syndrome affecting the quantity or quality of the α
IIbβ3
integrin (glycoprotein IIb/IIIa) present on platelets, which
is involved in platelet aggregation at the site of vessel
injury [75]. The syndrome is characterized by a lack of
platelet aggregation and commonly manifests at birth with
bleeding symptoms such as purpura, epistaxis, and gingival bleeding [75]. Glanzmann thrombasthenia should be
suspected when mucosal bleeding is accompanied by lack
of platelet aggregation in the presence of normal platelet
count and size; the diagnosis may be conrmed via ow
cytometry [53].
Inherited disorders involving the number, contents, storage, or release of platelet granules belong to a heterogeneous
group of disorders called storage pool disease (SPD). AlphaSPD, or the gray platelet syndrome, is a deciency involving
alpha granules and their contents. Delta-SPDs involve abnormalities in the dense bodies, causing a deciency of adenosine diphosphate, adenosine triphosphate, and serotonin [8,
76, 77]. The most commonly known delta-SPDs include
Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome, Chediak-Higashi syndrome,
and the Quebec platelet syndrome [8, 53, 78, 79].
Disorders of platelet membrane receptors affecting platelet extension and aggregation are a growing area of research
[8]. Examples include defects in the P2Y12 receptor, which
is necessary for adenosine diphosphate-induced platelet
aggregation, defects in the glycoprotein VI platelet collagen
receptor, thromboxane A2 receptor, and the epinephrine
receptor [8, 80, 81].
