What happens if platelets are too low, too low platelets?

Hello: platelets mainly play hemostatic coagulation function, low platelets will have the possibility of spontaneous bleeding, mild is subcutaneous bleeding, that is**purpura, or gum bleeding, nosebleed, serious visceral bleeding or intracranial hemorrhage, is life-threatening.

Platelet values can be affected by many factors, such as fatigue, lack of attention to diet, colds, bumps, mood swings, poor sleep, hormone reduction, etc., which can cause a sharp drop in platelets.

The fastest can reach 0 within a day, platelets are less than 20, there is a certain risk, it is necessary to be hospitalized with Western medicine to rescue**, but Western medicine can only be a temporary treatment of the symptoms but not the root cause of Western medicine** The first choice of hormones in Western medicine can generally play a certain role in alleviating the condition, but it cannot achieve the root cause, and the long-term use of hormones is very important to the body, with the reduction or discontinuation of hormones, platelets will still decline. TCM classification of thrombocytopenia: blood fever and delusion, yin deficiency and fire, qi does not take blood, and blood congestion obstructs the meridians.

It is recommended to combine Chinese herbal medicine to achieve clinical **. However, there are traditional Chinese medicine all over the country, and the ** plan of each Chinese medicine is different, and the ** treatment plan of our hospital is very different from the traditional Chinese medicine ** concept.

I don't have the right to make suggestions on the local medical situation, but there are no major tertiary hospitals in the country, specialized hospitals do not have the best of the best, more difficult to treat patients, many of them are referred to our hospital, you can observe for a period of time, the effect is not ideal or always repeated, it is necessary to contact our hospital, if you are able to do so, you can come directly to Beijing, so that you can take a lot of detours This disease is not a common cold and fever, it is not very easy, it is also very necessary to come and completely treat the condition, it is also very necessary and worthwhile. Wish: Soon**.

The specific symptoms of low platelets are manifested in many different aspects, aplastic anemia caused by various reasons, all have the characteristics of bone marrow megakaryocytopenia, decreased platelet production, etc., thrombocytopenia can be the earliest manifestation of aplastic anemia, or it may be that after **, hemoglobin and granulocytes return to normal, and platelets have not been recovered.

In myelopathy disorders such as cancerous infiltration, thrombocytopenia is mostly caused by tumor cells damaging the meganucleus legs, resulting in decreased platelet production. The diagnosis can be confirmed by examination of the bone marrow in the above two conditions, the former is hypomyeloproliferative and megakaryocytopenia; In the latter, tumor cells can be detected.

Platelets are an important substance to promote blood clotting, if the value is low, the wound is not easy to coagulate, it is related to disease and age.

There are three causes of thrombocytopenia: 1Platelet disorders:

Such as aplastic anemia, etc.; 2.Platelet destruction or excessive consumption: such as immune thrombocytopenia, etc. 3

Abnormal platelet distribution: such as hypersplenism. Now the patient has too low platelets, and considering the age, it is better to have platelet transfusions first.

Dangers of low platelets.

1.It can cause massive gastrointestinal bleeding and central nervous system hemorrhage and can be life-threatening. If thrombocytopenia does not heal for a long time, it will cause mucosal bleeding resulting in blood in the stool, blood in the urine, hematemesis, etc., and even bleeding in the heart mucosa.

2.Causes visceral hemorrhage. When platelets are too low, it can cause bleeding from internal organs, such as gastrointestinal hemorrhage and intracranial hemorrhage, which is life-threatening. Heavy bleeding after surgery. Because hemostasis and coagulation are not functioning properly, heavy bleeding is often detected after surgery. Heavy menstrual bleeding.

3.Thrombocytopenia can cause heavy menstrual bleeding in young women, and in severe cases, hematemesis and blood in the stool.

4.Thrombocytopenia can cause bleeding that cannot be stopped, and the most common is subcutaneous bleeding, which is the more common thrombocytopenic purpura in the haematology department. The normal number of platelets in the body is 100,000 300,000, less than 100,000, and there is no problem for some people.

If you exercise a lot, it can cause cerebral hemorrhage and even internal organ hemorrhage, which is life-threatening.

Normal platelets are (100-300) 10 9 L, when thrombocytopenia, to determine whether it is true thrombocytopenia or pseudothrombocytopenia, you can do a peripheral blood smear in the hospital to judge. In the case of pseudothrombocytopenia, no special treatment is required, and in the case of true thrombocytopenia, the patient should be examined in detail and systematically to determine whether it is a hematologic disease or a non-hematologic disorder.

If it is a non-hematologic disorder, it can be classified as a viral infection, post-hepatitis B cirrhosis, hypersplenism, or immune system disorders. If it is a hematologic disease, it may be leukemia, multiple myeloma, hematologic tumors, or immune-related thrombocytopenia.

If it is immune-related thrombocytopenia, hormones should be carried out**, and when the platelets are above 30 10 9 l, there is no need to treat platelets, and there may be spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage below 20 10 9 l, which needs to be hospitalized** to avoid life accidents, when the platelets are 10 10 9 l, it is extremely severe thrombocytopenia, and it should be treated as soon as possible to avoid life accidents.

If the platelets are too low, it will lead to weakened blood clotting function, and if a person is accidentally injured, the blood will not stop, and in severe cases, it will be life-threatening.

Platelets are produced by megakaryocytes in the hematopoietic tissues of the bone marrow and have a major hemostatic effect on the human body. The normal value of platelets is (120-320)x10*9 L, and the small decrease in blood can be seen in hematologic diseases or other physical diseases, and blood diseases are more common in leukemia, aplastic anemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, and others can be seen in bacterial or viral infections. If the platelets are lower than normal for many times, you need to see a hematology department to find the cause, and if necessary, you can do a bone marrow aspirate, when the platelets are less than 20x10*9 l, or there are bleeding points, absolute bed rest is required.

The main reasons for low platelets are as follows: 1. Thrombopoiesis disorders, platelets are produced by the bone marrow hematopoietic system, such as bone marrow hematopoiesis related diseases cause thrombocytopenia, such as: aplastic anemia, leukemia, etc., 2. Excessive platelet destruction, if platelets enter the blood, if they are destroyed too much in or outside the blood vessels, they will also cause low platelets, such as:

Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, systemic lupus erythematosus, infectious diseases, uremia, etc., as well as hypersplenism and autoimmune abnormalities.

The main function of platelets is to form a clot at the injured site when the body is injured, forming a blood clot to prevent continued bleeding. The harm of thrombocytopenia mainly includes mucosal bleeding, intraoperative hemorrhage, subcutaneous hemorrhage, etc.

What happens if you have low platelets? Low platelets means that the number of platelets is lower than the normal range, under normal circumstances, if the number of platelets is slightly reduced, there is no obvious effect on the hemostatic function of the human body, you can eat some foods that nourish qi and replenish blood, it is possible to increase the number of platelets, such as eating more peanuts, wolfberries, jujubes and other foods.

If the number of platelets is significantly reduced, the effect is often not good through dietary supplements, and the most effective method also needs to find out the cause of thrombocytopenia, and then give the corresponding **. For example, if thrombocytopenia is caused by immune thrombocytopenic purpura, the most effective method is oral glucocorticoids, or recombinant human thrombopoietin, and if these methods are not effective, splenectomy can also be given. If the number of platelets is severely reduced, simply giving dietary supplements is often not effective, and it is easy to delay the disease.

1. Platelets are an important part of blood, platelets have the effect of clotting blood, so what is the matter with low platelets, I will explain the following reasons for you.

Empirical Steps:

3. First, because the production of platelets in the body is insufficient, such as bone marrow problems, patients suffer from aplastic anemia, bone marrow damage caused by drugs, blood cancer or other cancers, etc.

4. Second, it may be due to the rapid consumption of platelets, such as immune hypocythemia, etc., which will cause the total amount of platelets to be too low.

5. Third, if the platelets are above 50 10e9 L, then you can continue to observe the changes in platelets, but if it is lower than this value, then you should find out the cause of platelet decline as soon as possible, whether it is hypersplenism or thrombocytopenic purpura, or other diseases.

Notes:

7. Low platelets should pay attention to the diet, not to eat fungus and fish, and not to eat more eggs. You can't get hurt because it's easy to bleed and you can't exercise vigorously. Don't put too much pressure on yourself and keep yourself in a good mood.

Low platelets are still very dangerous, mainly because they may cause excessive blood loss in the body.

First of all, we need to know what the role of platelets is in the body. Platelets, as you know from the name, are what you have like a plate in your blood, so what does a plate do?

For example, if the wooden house is broken, can you use a board to fill the hole? The same is true for platelets, when blood vessels are damaged, platelets clump together and block the defective blood vessels, preventing blood from flowing non-stop. When platelets are low, when the blood vessels are damaged, platelets are needed to plug the gap, there will be not enough platelets, which means that there may be a risk of non-stop blood flow.

The harm of low platelets is bleeding, according to the degree of low platelets, the risk of bleeding is different, for example, platelets are (70-80) 10 9 l, the risk of bleeding is not large, platelets are (40-50) 10 9 l, no trauma and not easy to bleed, but platelets below 10 10 9 l, it is easy to bleed spontaneously, platelets are (10-20) 10 9 l, some people have poor vascular conditions, and may also bleed spontaneously.

If the platelets are low, it will bleed, the light ** mucosa may bleed a little, the most serious and life-threatening is the cerebral hemorrhage, if the cerebral hemorrhage, it may soon be life-threatening, so what will happen if the platelets are low is based on the situation of low platelets, the lower the platelets, the greater the risk of bleeding. In addition, in addition to the number of platelets, it is also related to the patient itself, the older the patient, the greater the risk of bleeding, because the blood vessels are not good, more brittle, and the risk of bleeding is also greater when co-infection.
