Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My mom's platelet count was 6,000 and they did platelet transfusion for six pints and it came about 100,000 and after that, today again it became 13,000. What will be the disease condition and what is the treatment to be followed?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
You have not mentioned at what time she got her platelet transfusion, and now, after how many days, the platelet count has decreased. Dengue, immune thrombocytopenia purpura, uremia, malaria, blood septicemia, drugs, platelet functional disorder, consumptive coagulopathy, liver disease, etc., are some of the causes.
As your platelet count drops to a severe level, if no other cause is found, then a bone marrow aspiration study might be needed to exclude immune thrombocytopenic purpura. Take care.
