ABSTRACT
Pseudo thrombocytopenia is the estimation of low platelet counts by a Haematology analyzer despite of shortage in platelets. EDTA-induced pseudo thrombocytopenia, commonly seen in clinical practice, occurs mainly due to the anti-platelet antibodies. Pseudo thrombocytopenia is seen in normal healthy individuals and other disorders like cardiovascular, liver, autoimmune diseases and malignancy. We are presenting a case of multi-coagulant resistant dependent thrombocytopenia. The purpose of this letter is to review approaches to pseudo thrombocytopenia. The case has coagulant resistant dependent thrombocytopenia in association with Anasarca and was a known case of cardiomyopathy with severely dilated left atrium, left ventricle and right atrium.
