Glanzmann Thrombasthenia
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Glanzmann thrombasthenia is a rare disorder, usually inherited, in which platelets are unable to group together properly, which makes it harder to form clots to stop bleeding.
Possible manifestations: Frequent bruising, gum or nose bleeding, and prolonged bleeding after wounds or procedures are usually described.
When is an evaluation advisable? When bleeding episodes are recurrent or out of proportion, a workup that helps understand their origin is reasonable.
Which specialist treats it? The hematologist is the professional who studies blood and clotting diseases, and follows up on this type of disorder. In the case of an unusual tendency to bleed, seeing one helps clarify the situation and plan care.
