Clinical Updates in Diagnosis and Management of Thrombocytopenia

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to contribute to a forthcoming Special Issue of the journal Diagnostics entitled “Clinical Updates in Diagnosis and Management of Thrombocytopenia.” This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of advances in the understanding, diagnosis, and management of thrombocytopenia, a heterogeneous group of disorders with significant clinical implications.

We welcome high-quality original research articles, narrative or systematic reviews, and expert perspectives addressing recent developments in the pathophysiology of thrombocytopenia, including immune-mediated and non-immune mechanisms, as well as central and peripheral causes. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, advances in diagnostic strategies, novel biomarkers, and the role of emerging technologies in differential diagnosis. Contributions reviewing current and emerging therapeutic approaches, including new targeted therapies and treatment algorithms, are particularly encouraged.

The Special Issue will also address clinically relevant aspects such as thrombocytopenia in specific populations (pregnancy, pediatric patients, and the elderly), secondary thrombocytopenias, quality-of-life assessment, and cost-effectiveness analyses of diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. While immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) will be an important focus, the scope extends to other causes of thrombocytopenia to reflect real-world clinical complexity.
