  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-012035",
  "term": "Thrombocytopenia",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A medical condition characterized by an abnormally low number of platelets (thrombocytes) in the blood. Platelets are small, colorless cell fragments that form clots and stop or prevent bleeding. A platelet count below 150,000 per microliter of blood is generally considered thrombocytopenia, increasing the risk of bruising and bleeding.",
