blood platelets how to increase

html To my knowledge there are no dietary means to increase platelets. Do you have cirrhosis? How low were your platelets previously? Platelets at 170,000 is by far sufficient to participate in HCV therapy. I was also tested for vitamin D and found to be deficient. I take 5000 units D3 orally to supplement. Your doctor can guide you on dosage.

I post this because I saw Bohan54's journal about wallowing. Well, wallow away because this is an important issue for all of us that have or had Chemo and should be addressed. I tried searching the "expert" forum to see if there were any posts asking on how to increase low platelets and there wasn't a hit that had an answer (not even from community forums and this question was asked in both the cancer and nutrition forums.

my body just aches all the time, i only feel better when i double up on vitamins.since then i have had blood work done 3 times and my platelets are climbing and sometimes they go down a little bit, but slowly keep coming up. my white blood count was normal but over the last 3 weeks they shot up by 3000. i have been tested ofr hiv 5 times and the last test being on the 14th of march, they are all negative. i was concerned due to a very low risk possible exposure not certain.

s then i started papaya leaf juice and now my platelets are back to normal(post treatment).Guess it means either papaya leaf juice works :) or the treatment is not working :(.I'm counting on the former.Going for my HCV RNA test tomorrow after 4th shot.Hope things work out for good.

re not making enough platelets to keep blood thick enough to keep it from oozing out (not a good explanation of platelets but the simplest I can make it). The only way to fix low platelets is to reduce the amount of interferon in the weekly shot. That's not a major concern for you, since you've been on meds so long (over 7 mos.).

However, my doctor believes it can also increase platelets. Not a substantial increase, but it was enough to allow me to start treatment. My plateles went from 39 to 61 in the months prior to starting triple therapy.

brought my riba up to 800...my hgb...10.9 !!!! my white..2.0.....my platelets 141.....my nuta count 0.8.......pretty dam good i thought....the procrit really did it.....

When my husband started on Procrit, his treatment nurse mentioned that she sometimes also sees a slight boost in platelets in patients using Procrit to raise hemoglobin. Not sure how accurate that is, but she explained that because Procrit works by stimulating bone marrow, it also may increase platelet production slightly in some individuals along with increasing rbc production.

Hi, 33,000 is very low, what has your doctor said? Have they reduced your medication?...or given you a rescue drug? Could you say what medication you are on? What Geno Type you are? The results of your biopsy or fibroscan? More information would help others help you with information.

she is always low on red blood cells and platelets and high on white blood cells.her platelets always drop to about 1000-3000.does this affect her energy and alert level?will topping up of her platelets cause her to build antibodies?will give red blood cells also increase platelet count?

Anyway, her paltelets drop as low as 12 and when they were under 20, the doctor wanted to give her blood transfusions and blood platelet transfusions, but decided to just put her on the prednisone. She has tried various natural treatments to boost her platelets with no success.

There is nothing you can do to increase your platelets naturally, however sometimes as your blood volume stabilizes it will increase on its own.

The spleen stores red and white blood cells and platelets (fragment of cells that are used to clot blood). An enlarged spleen traps platelets lowering levels in the blood which can lead to the inability of blood to clot. This is called Thrombocytopenia and is common in people with cirrhosis. You don't necessarily have any physical symptoms with an enlarged spleen. Is there a better way to guide the progression of HepC than a liver biopsy?

If your doctor is trying to prepare you for additional IFN treatment, then perhaps the planned splenectomy is an effort to increase platelet counts; 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?

just usee it,do your check up every month on the advise of your doctor, after test doctor knows that there is how much quantity of haemoglobin,and platelets in your blood,after that he advise u medicines.dont use any kind of un necesory medicines.

hi i going to start treatment now on sat night and i hav low platetlet in around 70 i think i went to get a blood test on firday .and i would like to no what i could do to keep my platelet up what to eat right and someone said that drinking JELL-O is good for blood sugur free. i drink distilled water whey said that was good and some say that milk thistle is good .

How long have you had EBV? Low platelets can be a complication of EBV. How low are they? I don' t know if it would related to the "viral load' or not. Rather a complication of having the virus.

You would have to post all of your blood levels for us to comment about your blood levels beyond platelet count but here is what is know about the info you did post. Unfortunately since you have been diagnosed with cirrhosis what you are now experiencing is not uncommon. Many people that treat with both interferon combined with ribavirin experience low platelet counts especially if that person had a low platelet count when they started treatment due to their cirrhosis.

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.

Eltrombopag, is a pill which is a study also and it helps your platelets increase. Mine were good for almost 6 months but now was also asked to increase to 2 pills a day, cause it went down to 99 and thats the lowest its been from when I started to take them.I really dont know what will happen when I finish in 6 months, if the platelets will be good or not and they claim they dont know either.

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...

Almost ruined a shirt yesterday after having my Hbg checked. Looked down and there was blood everywhere. Had to go into the library just to run water on it. PRESSURE! That's the ticket. Good luck.

Has he mentioned using any of what we call rescue drugs to bring up the blood counts? I am referring to procrit to increase the hemoglobin and neupogen to increase the neutrophils. Did you use these helpers on your last two treatments? I think you should post this on the "other side" rather than this social network side for more advice. http://www.medhelp.
