What Causes Abnormal Functioning Of Platelets Causing Hematoma-like Bumps?
I have a platelt disorder. I dont know what it is but my platelt count is always normal but very little of them work. I have recently gotten a hematoma and been hospitalized. I recived 2 pints of platelts. I was released even though the bump wasnt better. I have been hospitalized aain and I got 6 more pints of platelts because I know have 10 bumps. (Which aren't hematomas.) They have taken many blood tests and mri's but all was normal. I was just wondering if you have ever seen anything like this before because my hematoligist and many other doctors have no idea what is going on. Any ideas I could tell my hematoligist I would be thankful for.

Hi,
What tests have been done? You need to undergo platelet function tests, PT and PTT tests and relavent factor assays if required. If all tests are normal , a thromboelastograph will be useful. Please get back with these reports.
