What Is Stromme Syndrome?
7. Blood
Healthy blood is also essential for our well-being because it transports oxygen and essential nutrients around the body to where they are needed. This includes the ability for the blood to clot when the blood vessels are damaged, otherwise the patient might bleed to death even from the smallest of cuts.
Thrombocytopenia is a condition in which the patient has fewer platelets than usual. Platelets are cells that bind together when needed to form a clot, thus blocking damage in blood vessels and preventing blood from escaping. This condition has only been found in one patient with Stromme syndrome so far.
