Glanzmann's Thrombasthenia (GT) is a rare, autosomal recessive bleeding disorder characterized by prolonged bleeding time and impairment in aggregation of platelets and impairment in clot retraction. The physiological defect includes impairment of glycoprotein receptor's (GPIIb/IIIa complex) present on platelet membrane which mediates platelet aggregation through fibrinogen binding. Purpose of this study is to get all of us know about this rare condition. A 16-year old female patient presented with repeated episodes of menstrual bleeding since 4years. She was a k/c/o Glanzmann's thrombasthenia. She was treated with antifibrinolytics, IV fluids and then discharged. Early diagnosis and proper supportive care are the measures for prognosis of Glanzmann's thrombasthenia.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
