1579934 tn?1431268911 Thrombocytopenia (low platelets) is a result of interferon, and not ribavirin. If your platelets fall below 35-50,000, doctors will probably discuss dose reduction of IFN; they don’t usually get too excited before that. It’s understandable to be a bit cautious at first; these are rather strong meds. Most of us find the anxiety of waiting and beginning to be anticlimactic after the fact; it’s not usually as bad as it’s made out to be.

Avatar n tn Up until very recently, not much could be done to increase platelets in these patients, other than dose reduction of the interferon. There is a new drug recently approved by the U.S. FDA to enhance platelet production; it’s generically called ‘eltrombopag’. I understand it’s been labeled for use in ITP patients, but not specifically for HCV. We do have two HCV patients in here that use it for this purpose, however; one is in clinical trial, and the other is using it off label.
Avatar f tn I have no problems with my blood pressure. My platelets are bumping around 50. Do you think this could be a sx of tx or something to do with my low platelets. I appreciate your thoughts.

Avatar n tn An enlarged spleen - which can be caused by a number of disorders - may harbor too many platelets, causing a decrease in the number of platelets in circulation
Avatar f tn My mother has ITP. Her platelets got extremely low several years ago and after being diagnosed she was put on prednisone, for several months I think. She slowly weaned off of it and has never had a recurrence of low platelets. In the meantime she's had cardiac bypass surgery and was fine.
10742126 tn?1412449327 All of these things point to a cirrhotic liver. The scarring of a cirrhotic liver is also on a cellular level so just because it looks like there is scarring around the edges, that does not mean too much as far as the stage of liver disease. Your ALT and AST are indicative of inflammation which is a common finding in HCV patients. The fluctuation of the viral load is meaningless and happens all the time.
Avatar f tn For me, hard work hard physical labor such as yard work, lifting, perhaps building a wall with stone ... this was the type of work that got me a six pack, but at the same time I was losing weight for a health problem (Celiac) so my body fat got low.
Avatar n tn I am a 73 years old survivor od recent Hodgkins Lymphoma and right now my platelet count is only 42K. I was concerned about the risks of going for colonoscopy with such low platelets. My oncologist has suggested to get platelet infusion before colonoscopy. What should I do?
Avatar f tn Hi, i'm 13 years old and i do not know what to do. My friends say i'm not fat, but i feel like i am. I am 7 stone 13 pounds and i do gymnastics 18 hours a week. I am not sure whether to go on a diet or not. Also, i am trying to get a six pack, but i don't know how to do so. I do sit ups and leg crunches but should i go on a diet too??
Avatar m tn My blood platelets have steadily gone down from 320 a couple of years ago to the recent count of 212. My question is does anybody know which std causes this destruction of blood platelets and destruction of Red blood cells count inside my body. And what can I do about it. I have done many tests over the last few years but cannot find the cause. In addition high uric acid as well. Someone please help. Thank you very much.
Avatar f tn s not stopping tx altogether. Also, what can happen if platelets drop to low? I know a lot of things can happen but what is the worst case scenario? I should have asked these questions but my brain went into the "fog zone". I greatly appreciate any input on this.

Avatar f tn I posted this question earlier and haven't received any responses: Anybody else had this problem? Week 22 of combo treatment and gums are starting to bleed. I am hoping it is just low platelets, but they don't seem to want to go away. There are hard knots under the skin around ankles, on calves (looks dark and like a large dent in the muscle). Starting to feel very weak. Had blood drawn on Monday and waiting to hear back from doc's office.
Avatar m tn The HALT C trials showed a good percentage of patients with cirrhosis had reversal of the amount of fibrosis (scarring) in the liver. About 20% actually went from Stage 4 to Stage 0-1 after 5 years post treatment. A large percentage of the others had some improvement in their stage of liver disease. Personally, my platelets went from just below the lower range of normal to normal after the completion of treatment. I expect that this will continue as time goes on. I got my SVR last year.
Avatar n tn We all know that no amount of sit-ups or crunches will give you a six- pack! A six-pack is the result of a clean diet as stated above, low body fat and hard, hard training. Crunches are what I consider a good "finisher" at the end of your core training, poor form often results in not much else than a sore neck. Instead, work your core with dynamic stabilizing moves.
Avatar n tn For a six-pack to show, you must reduce body fat. The body fat percentage necessary to reveal a cut torso varies according to your genes and body type, but for most men, a percentage of 6 to 8 percent will reveal abs, while for women require a percentage of about 11 to 13 percent. To reduce body fat, reduce calories below what you burn daily, which can be determined by finding your basal metabolic rate. A 250- to 500- deficit daily will lead to a 1/2- to 1-pound weight loss in a week.
Avatar f tn Hector, Just to answer a few of your questions. He did a baseline back on 3/25. The PCR was ordered correctly but the lab (QUEST) screwed it up and indicated that the VL was above 750,000. That's all the information they had. They did a QUAL instead of a QUANT is what I'm thinking. Henceforth, I have no baseline to go by because I started tx on 3/28. VL back in Oct was 1,290,000. They didn't even let me know about this until my visit on 5/1.
