plavix and low platelet count

She was given platelet went up then down again Can plavix make it worse and will her platelet revert back to normal

I am still waiting on the call back from my cardiologist, so will copy this answer and take it with me to see him. I had a complete CBC and platelet count, INR done and all came back normal, so thinking it probably is the Plavix! Thank you! I will post again once I see my cardio!

To start plavix or ASA before stopping Hepirin, could have substantially decreased the platelet count and put your mother at a high risk of a hemorhage. Its a judgment by your doctor that weighs the risk/ benefit of treatment. Sorry to hear of your loss and my condolences.

I had a LAD Stent placement and placed on plavix and 80mg Lipitor, within 2 days no energy, BP low,and black diarrea,been hospitalized 5 x for Gi bleed.and always put back on plavix Dr says I have to be on it for 1 year because of type of stent.

my 74 year old father has been taken 5mg of warifin and low dose asprin (81mg) for along time know,..he had a stent put in about 5 years ago and still contiues to combine the two....how does this sound to you guy's??

My husband has a pacemaker and 8 metal stents. He's been taking Coumadin and Plavix for the past 4-5 years since his last stent was put in. Recently he was rushed to the hospital with blood in his vomit and stools. They said he had last 60% of his blood and immediately preceeded to give him blood, total 9 pints. After much reading up on ulcers and his medicine's side-effects, we discovered that Plavix causes ulcers. He was bleeding from a huge ulcer in his stomach.

I recently had my blood test and the results show 113000 platelet count. Would this be a cause for concern regarding HIV or Aids?

Doctor can you tell me that blood count , Crp, Platelet count and lymphosite count does it affect on a person having hiv.

When they faxed me the results instead of the platelet count it said See Note*. I emailed my doc and she responded and told me no count was available. I asked if this was a lab error and she said no that she would explain everything to me when I come in the office Wednesday morning. I was just curious if any of you have had this happen before and what it could mean. Are they really, really low?

If you are not on any medications like anticoagulants, blood thinners or birth control pills then this could be due to clotting disorders, low platelet count, fragile spider veins, deep vein thrombus, deficiency of Vitamin B12, folic acid, or Vit K, a liver disease or certain cancers. It could also be due to pressure urticaria. If you are on medications then you need to discuss that with your doctor. The other possibility is that they are not bruise by petechiae.

For low platelet count, vet said to come back in a week and test again. I am worried that we should not wait. Would a platelet count be that low and then suddenly go back to normal in a week? Blood test in November showed normal platelets. Could an ulcer bleeding cause this? There is no evidence of blood in stool, either red or black. Please give me your thoughts on this? I am SO worried.

s job is to determine what the underlying condition or illness causing your platelet count to be so low. A low platelet count is an indication that something else is wrong. Start by seeing your family doctor or a general practitioner. If your doctor is unable to find the cause that your doctor should refer you to see a doctor who treats blood diseases (Hematologist). There are tests that a doctor can perform that can determine the cause of your low platelet count. Good luck to you.

My 7 year old male boxer has an extemely low platelet count. We adopted him from a rescue group in Dec 2006. He had a mass cell tumor on his side and I had it removed in July 2007. The tests revealed it was a grade II. At the time of his surgery, his platelet count was 27. He has been fine since his surgery. (Active-loves to play.) I took him for his annual checkup in Jan 2008 and blood work was done to check his platelet count. It was a 12.

Question. Someone has a very low platelet level. I understand the low in of normal to be 150,000. What level is considered to be dangerous and requires an infusion? In other words, how low would a doctor allow those levels to get before giving the person platelets or whole blood? Thank you.

My doc office called and said that my blood platelet count was low and that I needed to come back in two weeks to get it checked again. Has this happen to anyone else during pregnancy? What is your experience with this?

Anyone here been told their platelet count is low? I guess normal is 150 and mine was at 133 and still dropping. Nervous as can be since I've never heard of it before and don't know how dangerous it is.

Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura - ITP - is an autoimmune disease causing a low platelet count. One of the symptoms is excessive bruising. This condition is unrelated to MS.
