A Case with Thrombocytopenia Developing after Tirofiban Treatment

Platelets have a central role in many cardiovascular events. Tirofiban is a glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa receptor inhibitor that prevents platelet aggregation. In this report, it was aimed to review the thrombocytopenia induced by tirofiban treatment and other causes of thrombocytopenia. Key words: Tirofiban, Thrombocytopenia, GP IIb/IIIa İnhibitors

Özet

Trombositler birçok kardiyovasküler olayda merkezi role sahiptirler. Tirofiban, trombosit agregasyonunu önleyen bir glikoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa reseptör inhibitörüdür. Bu olguda tirofiban tedavisi sonrası gelişen trombositopeni ve trombositopeni yapan diğer nedenlerin gözden geçirilmesi amaçlandı. Anahtar kelimeler: Tirofiban, Trombositopeni, GP IIb/IIIa İnhibitörleri

Keywords

Tirofiban Trombositopeni GP IIb/IIIa İnhibitörleri Thrombocytopenia GP IIb/IIIa İnhibitors
