Alcoholism
Chemotherapy
Radiation Therapy
If someone has radiation and chemotherapy at the same time, it may cause some damage to the platelets counts. Radiation therapy may damage your bone marrow if you receive a large amount of radiotherapy, especially to your pelvis.
Antibodies
Antibodies are a special kind of protein in our body that fights against damages from the outside. They destroy any substances that may harm the body, but sometimes these antibodies wrongly destroy the healthy platelets.
Some Cancers
Some specific types of cancers may lower the platelets count such as leukemia or lymphoma. The abnormal cells which are made by the cancer cells destroy healthy cells in the bone marrow, the place platelets are produced. Less common causes can include the types of cancers which spread to the bone tissues, or cancer in the spleen, etc.
Some Medications
Exposure to treat bacterial infections or seizures
Special Diseases
Some diseases and viruses such as hepatitis C
Types of Thrombocytopenia
Low platelets count has three main classes which are:
Platelet destruction such as auto-antibody attaches to the platelets surface
Platelets sequestration is a condition caused by a large spleen or with liver disease
Decreased Platelets production that occurs with bone marrow diseases
