Avatar m tn Have you found an answer to your question about Vitamin K2 and platelets? I too have the same question, particularly since I have elevated platelets.
1475202 tn?1536270977 s not that vitamin C will increase platelets it protects them from being destroyed by free-radicals. As you stated vitamin C is known to promote the absorbtion of iron but even as a cirrhotic patient we need to maintain a healthy level. We can monitor this level with lab testing. Mine is a 68 with a normal range of 45-170. There are certainitly pros and cons to using this vitamin and should be only used if approved by your gastro or hepatologist.
Avatar f tn The way that blood cancers cause easy bruising is that they reduce the number of platelets down to 50 or even much, much lower. Platelets are used in blood clotting. Your platelet count is well within normal. Another possible cause is when the blood's "clotting proteins" are not being produced enough. They are produced in the liver, so that's why your liver was tested. Since your liver is apparently normal, we can rule out that cause for now.
20849194 tn?1537445385 Hello~Increasing the intake of iron-rich foods (eggs, spinach, artichokes, beans, lean meats, and seafood) and foods rich in cofactors (such as vitamin B6, folic acid, vitamin B12, and vitamin C) important for maintaining normal hemoglobin levels. Such foods include fish, vegetables, nuts, cereals, peas, and citrus fruits. Also, try to start exercising at least 5 days a week for 30 minutes.
Avatar f tn Hepatitis C does not cause low platelets. After many years of infection with Hepatitis C some people will have serious liver damage and liver cirrhosis. If the person has liver cirrhosis this can cause low platelets. Here are some causes of low platelets: aplastic anemia. a vitamin B-12 deficiency. a folate deficiency. an iron deficiency. viral infections, including HIV, Epstein-Barr virus, and chickenpox. exposure to chemotherapy, radiation, or toxic chemicals. consuming too much alcohol.
314532 tn?1206415109 The two thing that are known to most help this are 1. Vitamin C is known to increase cellular wall strength and hence prevents rupture of cell walls, allowing for additional pressure before bruising (burst cells and capilarries) begin to collaspe. Do not take a large dose of C if you have hep C, but a small daily addition is ok. 2.
Avatar n tn One of the effects of advancing liver disease catalyzed by Hep-C is thrombocytopenia (low platelets) which can also be an unambiguous side effect of fish oil. So lab values relative to platelets and an M.D. awareness would be prudently safer.
Avatar m tn Vitamin B12 deficiency mimics MS. This is nothing to mess around with as permanent nerve damage will occur if not treated in time. If your B12 serum levels are lower than 800pg/mL or 600pmol/L you need a boost to optimal range. Check out the book: Could It Be B12?: An Epidemic of Misdiagnoses by Sally M. Pacholok RN, Jeffrey J. Stuart DO. From Scribd "Understanding Your Blood Report: "Platelets are concerned with the clotting of the blood Clinical adult range: 150,000-450,000cu.
29837 tn?1414534648 When the body is subjected to an injury and starts to bleed, colorless sticky substances called platelets form clots to stop the blood. If you have a low platelet count, it is harder for the blood to form clots. There are several foods that you can eat that can help you increase the platelet count in your blood, but you should always see you physician for monitoring of the condition. Good choices include salmon, tuna, flax seed oil and free-range eggs.
Avatar m tn Our new supplement will contain little bit higher dosage of vitamin E and C because today a normal vitamin supplement has only 90 mg of vitamin C which we want to increase it to nearly 500 mg in our new vitamin+ Arginine supplement. For better production of NO in our body, we have combined different but related factors together to safeguard our cardiovascular system and so we can live a longer life.
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.
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 was taking only vitamin C. I really hope that my liver enzymes slightly increased because I hurt my back 2 days before blood test. GGT went down so this is good and platelets improved - just wondering if you relapse after treatment how normally liver enzymes reacts they should go up like AST, ALT and GGT and platelets should go down?
Avatar m tn interferon itself can cause thrompocytopenia, and surgical resection of the spleen can increase platelets, possibly qualifying you for additional treatment. You understand that portal hypertension and platelets at 39,000 are indicative of cirrhosis, right? What has been discussed in this regard? Have you been formally diagnosed with stage four cirrhosis yet? Do you have a recent MELD score? How about recent results for INR, albumin, bilirubin, etc?
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 m tn Vitamin K will not help your platelets. At this point there is a drug that is in clinical trials to help boost the platelet count but unfortunately it is not available for the general public yet. Good luck and I hope your platelets stay high enough to do treatment.
Avatar f tn I have 36 weeks pregnant and I have low platelets,can I get any advise of what I should eat or do to increase my platelets, I had the same problem with my first pregnancy of twins, my platelets went very low,at 80,000 and I was bleeding through my mouth the whole delivery , which took close to 3 days, I had them natural because the doctor told me that I can't have a c-section...that will be a bad ending... I dont want this to happen with this pregnancy, please help me...
1390055 tn?1365615055 Hello, What you have is called thrombocytopenia. It can be due to decreased production of platelets like vitamin B 12 deficiency, myelodysplastic syndrome, liver causes, increased destruction like in ITP, medications induced or snakebites ( unlikely in your case). ITP is one cause of thrombocytopenia. The diagnosis of ITP is one of exclusion. One should rule out other causes of blood abnormalities and causes of thrombocytopenia and then move on to confirm the diagnosis of ITP.
Avatar f tn Lean meats such as fish, chicken and turkey are rich in protein, zinc and Vitamin B12, all of which help increase the blood platelet count. Beans contain Vitamin B9 or folate which greatly helps boost the blood platelet count. Some other foods rich in B9 are spinach, asparagus, and oranges. So this could be a good diet to follow but he should consult with his doctor for diet recommendations.
