Platelets are one of the most important indicators in the blood routine physical examination report, and its value is related to whether the body's coagulation function is normal. Generally speaking, the normal range of platelets is 100 300 10 9 L, the value is less than 100, called thrombocytopenia, according to the number of platelets and clinical manifestations, thrombocytopenia can be divided into five different stages, and the difficulty of these five stages is gradually increasing, so that patients are facing more and more challenges. So what stage of this are you yourself in?
Stage 1: When platelets are between 80 and 99, there is mild thrombocytopenia. At this stage, the number of platelets decreases, but remains relatively normal. Patients often have no obvious symptoms and may only occasionally experience some ** or mucosal bleeding. ** In terms of rest, dietary adjustment and lifestyle adjustments, such as avoiding strenuous exercise and prolonged exposure to high temperatures, it is usually only necessary to pay attention to rest, dietary conditioning and lifestyle adjustments.
The second stage: between 50 and 80 is a moderate reduction, when the number of platelets has decreased significantly, and the bleeding symptoms caused by it have also increased accordingly. In addition to ** and mucosal bleeding, symptoms such as bleeding gums, nosebleeds, and heavy menstrual bleeding may occur. **In addition to paying attention to rest and lifestyle habits, it may be necessary to supplement some drugs with hemostatic function.
Stage 3: Between 20 and 50 is a severe decrease, in which the number of platelets has decreased dramatically, resulting in frequent bleeding symptoms. In addition to the symptoms of the first two stages, visceral bleeding such as gastrointestinal bleeding and intracranial bleeding may also occur. In addition to the use of medication, platelet transfusions may be required to increase the number of platelets.
Stage 4: A value below 20 is considered to be a very severe thrombocytopenia, and patients at this stage have a very low number of platelets, which is prone to severe bleeding symptoms and even life-threatening. In addition to the above symptoms, symptoms such as an enlarged spleen and swollen lymph nodes may also occur. **, a large number of platelet transfusions are required, and the cause of thrombocytopenia is sought, such as autoimmune thrombocytopenia, drug-related thrombocytopenia, etc.
Therefore, when facing the disease of thrombocytopenia, we must be aware of its seriousness and carry out it as early as possible**. If you yourself suffer from thrombocytopenia, I hope you can find out what stage you are in as soon as possible and actively cooperate with your doctor** to recover your health as soon as possible. Remember, communicating with your doctor and keeping a close eye on your health are the most important things to do when it comes to thrombocytopenia.
