Storage Pool Deficiency

Platelet storage pool deficiency is described as a class of disorders that are induced by crises with the platelet granules.

Platelet storage pool deficiencies arise when platelet granules are misplaced, decreased in number, or unable to unpack their ingredients into the bloodstream. The signs and symptoms involve systematic nosebleeds, abnormally heavy menstruation, painless bruising, and recurrent anemia.
