Platelets are the component of blood which helps the blood to clot. A low platelet count can cause bleeding and bruising which can sometimes be serious. There are many different causes and treatments depend on the cause. It is not always easy for doctors to diagnose the cause and often many investigations are needed including uncomfortable bone marrow biopsy tests. In addition, even when the cause is known, different treatments may be tried before finding one that works. Some of the treatments used may have side effects and it would be helpful to develop blood tests that would predict which medicines will make which patients better. This would help treatment to be individualised, speeding up the time to get better and avoiding side effects of treatments that don't work. This study aims to develop new laboratory test to help with the diagnosis, identification of how the disease is working and prediction of treatment response in patients with low platelet counts.
