Common Questions and Answers about Blood platelets ppt
blood
I am at the early stages of PPT (I also have postpartum anxiety) my endocrinologist put me on Tapazole 2 weeks ago. I have a mild soar throat but I believe it's merely the remnants of a cold. However, I am losing an insane amount of hair, above the average hair loss due to postpartum. Is this the combo of thyroid, meds and postpartum... I'm on tapazole 10mg daily dose. Is there something I can do? I had my blood work done on Friday and WBC was normal... does it fluctuate easily?
2 months pregnant and had a miscarriage 6 months prior to being diagnosed Hypo. I recently had blood work done on my own out of curiousity and my results are listed below:
T3 Uptake: 35%
Thyroxine (T4): 9.4 (normal 4.5 - 12.0)
Free Thyroxine: 3.3 (normal 1.2 - 4.9)
TSH: 0.156 (normal .350-5.
Hello
How high are your platelets. Platelets are responsible for clot formation in the blood vessels. Thrombocytosis or abnormally high platelets usually manifests as clots in the blood vessels which can cause areas of decreased oxygen in various organs of the body. This can result in pain in these areas. It would be unusual for this to cause joint pain.The treatment for elevated platelet is to be on an agent like aspirin to prevent excessive clotting.
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?
Has your doctor diagnosed post partum thyroiditis (PPT)?
Your TPOab is somewhat elevated, which usually indicates PPT. It's considered a variant of Hashimoto's thyroiditis, which is autoimmune thyroid disease and the most prevalent cause of hypo in the developed world.
PPT is usually a temporary condition characterized by an initial hyper phase, a brief return to normal and then a hypo phase. Hashi's, except in its very early stages, usually causes hypothyroidism.
You may have postpartum thyroiditis (PPT). PPT is considered a "temporary"/self-resolving thyroiditis. It usually starts with a hyper phase, followed by a return to normal and then a hypo phase. However, many women only experience the hypo or the hyper, not both.
TSI (thyroid stimulating immunoglobulin) is the antibody marker for Graves'. If you have that tested, and it's elevated, you'll know you have Graves'.
I have a 7 month old son and my thyroid is way out of whack. Because of my somewhat recent pregnancy my endo seems to think that I have PPT. I have researched this and PPT goes from hyper to hypo and I thought if this was the case with my sons age I would be in the hypo stage by now....also I have no inflammation which I'm pretty sure would be required for a thyroidITIS diagnosis.
I felt extremely weak and I almost dropped my 3 month old baby. I went right away to the clinic, and they ran some blood-work. Again I was told I had four kids I was probably burning the candle at both ends and not to worry.. All was fine except my TSH was 0 and my T4s were approaching 40!!! In Canada the ranges are 0.1 - 4.0 TSH and 9.7- 25.0 for T4 3.5 - 7.0 for T3 I had a ultrasound which showed my thyroid on the larger end of normal, but not a full on goiter by any means.
Platelets are a type of blood cell that play an important role in blood clotting. Platelets are made in the bone marrow, and is the organ that produces all types of blood cells. The condition can develop when the bone marrow stops regulating its production of platelets and other blood cells, often as a result of a mutation or other type of injury to the marrow.
m glad to read that I am not the only one with Thyroid issues! I am the proud mother of a new baby girl who is now 4 months old and I suffer from PPT, I had it with my first child and now I new the signs I acted fast and saw my endo. The problem is that I've been prescribed Tapazole to help me with the hyper stage until hypo sets in, and honestly, I'm really scared to take the medication. The list of side effects seem pretty severe. Is this the best process for me to take.
I have no idea what forum to go to, so since I'm used to this one and my problem could relate to low platelets, I'll start here. About the same time I started Olysio & Sovaldi, I got a light flesh-colored hard knot about the size of a dime right above my right elbow. There was blue all around it. Then the blue was replaced by spreading purple so the whole area is 3" by 2" with the knot in the middle. It hurts.
The platelet function tests help to study the functioning of the platelets. Various platelet function tests are used to evaluate the ability of platelets to clump together and begin to form a clot. Please discuss this with your doctor am sure he will provide further assistance.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
