So he went to the doctors and routine blood tests everything came but normal red blood cells were fine, white blood cells were fine, bare for the platelet count which was 94,000, tested 3 weeks later and was 92000, 3 days later and they were 91000 the doctor as scared me and said it could be cancer along with a few other scary things, Has this ever happened to anyone?
Thank you so much.
At the hospital, we had discovered that his blood tests had come in already and the results were that his platelets were really low...27. We chose to have my dog stay over night at the hospital to be monitored. One day later, his platelets dropped even more...12 and his red blood cell count was lower than before. We have also been informed that they were giving him more meds. I am so concerned as we haven't gotten any answers yet. How soon til the meds start working?
I'm 36 weeks and 3 days and have really low platelets (64,000 ) this only happens when I get pregnant.
You definately need a good second opinion on this matter. Low platelets, can be found in quite a few illness,s and those need ruling out.
Thrombocytopenia, ITP, APS, and also bone marrow conditions. etc etc.
I had a low blood platelet count, but it was linked to my auto-immune disease of APS.
This needs attention . If they arent clever enough to give you a reason why, then you need someone else.
Dont give up searching.
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?
post-treatment? really don't know what you are talking about, I only know you have low platelets, however, platelets can go up and down depending on the time of day, I hope this answers your question.
The information you have provided are not enough to form any opinion from.
If your platelet count is 80 and your prothrombin time is 14 this could be an indication of cirrhosis of the liver. Looking at two blood values is not enough to make an educated guess on anyone's health condition and doesn't explain why the doctor won't treat you. Others with similar levels have been treated. So there must be more to the story than you are presenting in your post.
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.

the post from nannyleenie about low platelets is actually myself,redeemed 1,i must have posted under nannyleenies screen name,she is my wife.my first time on tx 2 years ago,rbc went down so i needed to take procrit,i dont believe i had an emergency situation with my platlets,as i finished 48 wks of tx.im taking double shot of peg until und.,so maybe that is kicking down the platelets.they went from wk. 1 at 72,to 7o at wk. 2,to 80 at wk. 3 to 60 at last labs at wk.4.
There is nothing you can do to increase your platelets naturally, however sometimes as your blood volume stabilizes it will increase on its own.
How low can we go? My platelets are 131,000. About 9000 below the beginning of the norm. It can be scary all these abnormal blood cell counts. My ANC is staying the same at 1.2 so I am thankful for that. Only 5 weeks to go. By the way I am using tea tree oil and it seems to be fading the awful scars I have from the rash. Give it a try if scars are a problem.
It would be helpful if you give the normal ranges; labs ranges vary from lab to lab alot.
If you wanted an epidural for pain management they might not be able to give it to you depending on how low they are. Do you know what they are at? Typically platelets will just improve over time, but the drs would have to watch for excessive bleeding since platelets help you clot. If platelets are extremely low they can doa transfusion with platelets but I have only seen this done if they are less than 30.
I have cirrhosis and my platelets, red blood cells, and white blood cells are slightly low. My platelets run about 115, my white count runs between 3-4 and my red count bounes from low normal to just below normal. My hemoglobin is always normal. So, if you do not have cirrhosis it is usually something else causing the low counts. You haven't mentioned your exact counts. That might help. Also, what has your doctor said? This would have nothing to do with your genotype.
