Avatar m tn Hello How high are your platelets. Platelets are responsible for clot formation in the blood vessels. Thrombocytosis or abnormally high platelets usually manifests as clots in the blood vessels which can cause areas of decreased oxygen in various organs of the body. This can result in pain in these areas. It would be unusual for this to cause joint pain.The treatment for elevated platelet is to be on an agent like aspirin to prevent excessive clotting.
Avatar f tn Ask your doctor if you can take vitamin B12 suppliments to make up for these ever dropping platelets. B12 helps produce red blood cells, but as we all learned in high school, platelets are within our blood stream :) It doesn't need to be prescribed to you, but I'd ask just in case hun :) Good luck!
Avatar f tn Essentially Platelets are the glue that holds the blood together. Google it. Low platelets means thinner blood. 44 is very low, normal range is around 150-250. Yes, avoid a serious cut, and definitely avoid head injury or any actions that might cause one. If either happens, call a doctor ASAP. Try to stick in there, with so little time left to go it would be a shame not to complete if all possible. What's your virus count?
Avatar f tn m 23 weeks pregnant and I just got out of the emergency room a couple days ago for a kidney infection while I was there they held me longer because I have low blood platelets that really scares me have any of you experienced low platelets? How do I raise my platelets count?
493068 tn?1224765315 I completed Interferon-Ribavirin-Neupogen 2 years ago in Feb...My WBC, RBC, Platelets, and Absolute neutrophil counts have been down most of the time since completing 48 weeks. I was to have cervical surgery for severe stenosis this week but they did my lab work 2 times last week and cancelled the surgery. I know it is very dangerous for bleeding or hematoma of spinal cord..Do you have any idea why my labs stay like this? RBC 3.2, Hgb 10, Hct 30, platelets 130, and Absolute neutrophils 1.5.
Avatar n tn In this therapy, your own blood is drawn, and spun to obtain a high concentration of platelets. The concentrated platelets are injected into your tendon to deliver the concentrated growth factors and induce a healing response. This treatment ihas had about 80% success rate.
493068 tn?1224765315 I wanted to know if any of you that have completed tx have abnormal CBC and platelets? My WBCs, Hgb, Hct. and platelets have been low since starting treatment and completing tx. Thanks for any feedback.
Avatar m tn Recent work has indicated that injections with platelet rich plasma (PRP) can be very helpful in as part of an overall program for soft tissue healing. PRP is obtained by drawing a small amount of the patients blood, centrifuging it a high speed for up to 15 minutes and harvesting a smaller highly concentrated sample of platelets. The platelets are reinjected into the patients injured area. The PRP serves as a soft tissue scaffold for soft tissue healing.
2030686 tn?1351688548 For example, amoxicillin can lead to anemia (low red blood cells), thrombocytopenia (low platelets) and leukopenia (low white blood cells). Red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen. White blood cells help fight infection and platelets help in wound healing. Anemia leads to fatigue and shortness of breath. Leukopenia makes you susceptible to infections and thrombocytopenia makes you prone to easy bruising and bleeding. http://www.livestrong.
Avatar n tn Platelets are a type of blood cell that play an important role in blood clotting. Platelets are made in the bone marrow, and is the organ that produces all types of blood cells. The condition can develop when the bone marrow stops regulating its production of platelets and other blood cells, often as a result of a mutation or other type of injury to the marrow.
Avatar f tn I began the Ultra thistle/Liv52/SST regimen with high antioxidant supplements. Also, I began to eat the Living raw foods program. My latest blood results show better AST/ALT's from January, but falling platelets, wbc's and K...also ferratin is a sky-high 427 (as a result of liver inflammation, most probably). Can anyone share experience with the combo of raw foods and blood values and hep c? Can anyone recommend a holistic MD somewhere in the mid-Atlantic area who can help me?
190885 tn?1333025891 I was just asking because I was wondering if the procrit had helped raise you platelets. I would think with 141 platelets you don't have much liver damage. I started tx with just 60. When I was first diagnosed with hep c I had 107 . I love to see 141 that's great.
Avatar m tn I have no idea what forum to go to, so since I'm used to this one and my problem could relate to low platelets, I'll start here. About the same time I started Olysio & Sovaldi, I got a light flesh-colored hard knot about the size of a dime right above my right elbow. There was blue all around it. Then the blue was replaced by spreading purple so the whole area is 3" by 2" with the knot in the middle. It hurts.
Avatar m tn My son is in the sick kids hospital since past sunday, he was rushed in with joints pain, bleeding, lower legs vasels bleeding and his platelets were zero, he had platelets tranfusion and IVIG ( didn't work) they gave him 3 doses of steroids, after the first one the platelets went up to 16 but after a while went down, right now they are at 5, they took bone marrow and everything seems ok in it, they don;t really know what is causing his inmune system destroying his platelets.
Avatar f tn I have had the problem of low blood platelets for years - they go ip and down! Had loads of tests but nothing - but im tired and have lots of head rushes during the day..any ideas what this could be? Recent fbc :- WBC 6.35 RBC. 3.94 Platelets 59 Anyone can help??
Avatar f tn The platelet function tests help to study the functioning of the platelets. Various platelet function tests are used to evaluate the ability of platelets to clump together and begin to form a clot. Please discuss this with your doctor am sure he will provide further assistance. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar m tn I said I have an account on this site and can ask eperts for you, so could anyone help? Could the decreased number of blood platelets be related to my colleague's episode five years ago?
