Abstract
Although it is rare, drug-induced thrombocytopenia is important since it may cause fatal results like bleeding. Mostly spironolactone is used for ascites palliation in the cirrhotic patients. Thrombocytopenia has been reported with thiazide group of diuretics. But thrombocytopenia caused by spironolactone is rarely seen. We presented our patient with ascites diagnosed as liver cirrhosis that developed severe thrombocytopenia after receiving two weeks of spironolactone treatment.
