AB  - Key  Clinical  QuestionsThrombocytopenia  Does  the  patient  have  true  thrombocytopenia  or  pseudothrombocytopenia?  What  is  the  timing  of  onset,  progression,  and  severity  of  the  thrombocytopenia?  Is  the  thrombocytopenia  isolated,  or  is  there  concomitant  anemia,  leukopenia,  or  both?  What  are  the  findings  of  the  peripheral  blood  film?  What  tests  and  studies  are  useful  to  evaluate  each  etiology?  What  is  the  frequency  of  specific  causes  of  thrombocytopenia  in  defined  clinical  circumstances?  Is  the  thrombocytopenia  a  marker  of  bleeding  risk,  thrombosis  risk,  or  adverse  prognosis?  What  treatments  are  available  for  each  etiology?Thrombocytosis  Is  the  thrombocytosis  newly  acquired  during  the  hospitalization?  Is  there  concomitant  splenomegaly  and/or  abnormalities  in  hemoglobin  or  white  blood  cell  levels?  Does  the  thrombocytosis  predate  the  hospitalization?  Is  the  red  cell  size  (mean  corpuscular  volume)  increased  or  decreased?
