Blood platelets over 1 million

Common Questions and Answers about Blood platelets over 1 million

blood

Avatar f tn Has anyone had a viral load count of HCV over 9 million? My AST ALT are normal and ultrasound didnt show any cirrhosis. But my ALP is high and platlets are high. Could I still have cirrhosis with the viral load that high?
Avatar m tn Hello, I was diagnosed in type 1 hepatitis C, with a count of 1.7 million units in the blood and a little high ALT - 50 , I passed biopsy and the change of liver is minimal to moderate without signs of fibrosis, probably I have the virus over 20 years is USSR . All other tests labs was OK.
Avatar m tn Too few platelets in the blood. Platelets are small cell fragments that, when activated, stick together to form blood clots. Too few platelets may cause a delay in clot formation and excessive bleeding. Normal levels are between 150,000 to 450,000 platelets/mm3 (McCrae 2006); thrombocytopenia in context of lupus is defined as platelet levels below 100,000/mm3 (Hochberg 1997). Leukopenia: A reduced level of leukocytes, also called white blood cells due to their lack of color.
495402 tn?1220617403 I had my weekly doctor's visit yesterday afternoon and she told me that my blood platlets have dropped to 95 and if they reach 50, then she'll have to cut my interferon in half. Won't this affect my chances of clearing the virus? I've been noticing a lot more black and blues on my legs but then I've always been an easy bruiser.
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 I started talking codeine//fiorcet for headaches to stop aspirin because of my low platelets. My last blood test before starting treatment for the first time was over 3 million. I think your test was probably read wrong. My doctor has always knows about the codeine use and has not told me to stop.
Avatar f tn 6 weeks HCV RNA 186 STARTED AT 13 MILLION 2 WEEKS IT DROPPED TO 2 MILLION 5 NOW AT 6 WEEKS 186. hgb 11.5 hct 40 platelets 236 rbc 4.5 i am in boc trial ZAZZA WHAT WAS THE DROP.
Avatar f tn The possible risk that is talked about is from blood clots, because the blood gets thickened. However, your hematocrit is 49.6%, while the level for any worry seems to be 52% or greater. You can donate a unit of blood to reduce the number of RBCs. I don't know how long it should take for the number of RBCs to go back down naturally.
10742126 tn?1412449327 Hi everyone, I was diagnosed with HCV type 1a awhile ago. At that time they treated with interferon and ribavirin (not sure about spelling) which I couldn't take because my platelets were 27,000. That's how they discovered the Hep C in fact. I gave up alcohol, ice cream, salty food, processed food, and now consume a very healthy diet. My platelets are 52,000 and my hepatologist will be treating with Harvoni as soon as insurance approves.
Avatar n tn What do you mean give up? you're way under the 1000 required see where you are at 12 weeks. You may be undetectable then. My platelets are at 25 (4 week blood test). I'm hoping they stabilize. Let's not worry, it's bad for your liver. Sounds like things are working right now and that all we can hope for.
9250086 tn?1402628377 Being a rookie to this all, what specific blood counts should I look for while under treatment with Sovaldi & Olysio. My starting labs showed a viral load of over three million. If reading your comments correctly, many are undetectable after the first month.
Avatar n tn This question is probably the most difficult to answer because there's so many factors that go into deciding whether to tx or not. Have you looked at your biopsy reading or did the doctor simply tell you what stage or grade you are? There are alot of doctors who don't advise txing until you get further along and that can be dangerous. Over 1 million on your viral load doesn't really mean that much in determining when to tx.
34957 tn?1515170194 Optimum values for an adult male is 14.0 to 15.0 g/dl and for an adult female is 13.5 to 14.5 g/dl. RBC: Optimal values for an adult male are 4.70-5.25 million/mm3 and for an adult female are 4.00 to 4.50 million mm3." Hemoglobin: Optimum values for an adult male is 14.0 to 15.0 g/dl and for an adult female is 13.5 to 14.5 g/dl. Hemocrit: Optimum values in an adult male are 42.0 to 48.0% and in an adult female is 39.0 to 45.0%. Platelets: Optimum values: 230,000 to 400,000 mm3.
Avatar n tn Pegasys and Riba have both been reduced because platelets dropped to 19. As of last week, platelets are up to 31, Pegasys was increased from 90 to 135, however, I remain on 800 Riba. Beginning PCR 1.9 million 2 week PCR 444 4 week PCR 179 8 week PCR 77 Although I continue to go down, not being undetectable by week 8 is of some concern to me. PCR will be done again at 12 weeks. Doc said she will not stop treatment unless I am not undetectable by week 24.
Avatar f tn I just got the results from my blood work done on day 28 of my treatment with Sovaldi and Olysio combination. My liver enzymes are normal, and my viral load went from 4 million plus to fifteen but not zero as expected. Has anyone else still had the virus present after a month? Will the second month wipe it out or are the meds not going to work for me? Disappointed that the virus is still detectable, and so is my doctor.
Avatar f tn 4) In an emergency, there may not be enough time to collect, test, and process blood from a blood relative. If the platelets are low enough to be life threatening, blood or blood products may need to be given immediately. I hope this is helpful.
Avatar f tn Still no answers but this is what the test showed today...platelets decreased from 1.1 million to just under one million, hematocrit increases slightly and hemoglobin increased slightly (on doctor didn't give me exact numbers but I will be getting copies tomorrow....and the bone marrow test showed elevated reticulocyte?? Which I know are immature red blood cells but still don't know what all of this means. Needless to say, I am still worried sick!!
Avatar m tn I recently had blood work done and it indicated that my Platelet count has dropped to 126,000. I have always had my blood checked at least annually and my platelets have always been in normal range. I wonder if this indicates that I am now cirrhotic or getting there? Has anyone ever heard of dcereased paltelets in the Hep C patient inidcating anything other than this? Your help is appreciated.
