Description of the birth defefct thrombocytopenia. Presented by Russell Laros, MD, Director of the Perinatal Outreach Program for UCSF, and in cooperation with the UCSF Fetal Treatment Center.
Thank you for posting this video! I know that this is a rare condition but more people should know about this and the dangers! When they told me my daughter had this I had no idea what they were talking about!
@yrollable yes there is. My daughter was born with Thrombocytopenia. The doctors did not know that she had the condition...I had built up antibodies to her platelets and she was born with only 16,000. I happened to develop HELLP Syndrome at 31 weeks and she was delivered soon after (Thank God b/c of the risk of her being in utero.)They gave her 2 blood platelet transfusions before testing me for antibodies...and then gave her platelets that would be compatible. She is now a healthy 15 month old!
