Someone once said that out of ten people you meet, one or two people may have lower platelets. This is not unfounded. I believe that during physical examinations or routine blood tests every year, I often hear doctors say that platelets are low and even low platelet counts are too low.

What is the normal value of platelets? How much is lower or can platelets be reduced? In normal people’s blood, there are usually (100—300)×10^9/L platelets. When it falls below this range, it will be Will be normal platelet count as thrombocytopenia.

When some people are told by a doctor that they have thrombocytopenia, they may not believe it. Why do they still say that it is thrombocytopenia? Is there a mistake?

Indeed, the typical symptom of thrombocytopenia is bleeding, but not all patients with thrombocytopenia will bleed. Only when the platelets are lower than 50×10 9/L, will there be a bleeding tendency. In order to make a clear corporate diagnosis, in addition to our necessary blood routine examinations, students are also required to undergo routine urine examinations and stool routine examinations.

Then everyone may have questions. Since platelets bleed only when they are lower than 50, are platelets in the range of 50-99 thrombocytopenia?

Thrombocytopenia is clinically defined as thrombocytopenia when it is lower than 100×10^9/L. When the platelet is between 50-99, for mild and moderate reduction, most patients have no obvious symptoms, occasionally bleeding from gums and nose, women with menorrhagia, and pale complexion.

Although this condition is not serious and requires active treatment, with or without symptoms, it does not require side effects such as platelet transfusion and glucocorticoids. This is because the reduction of platelets usually reflects the existence of factors that cause thrombocytopenia in the human body, such as aplastic anemia, the development of acute leukemia, and Chinese infections, the abnormal behavior of the immune mechanism produces antiplatelet antibodies or Hypersplenism and other problems should be treated in a timely and effective manner, and intervention as soon as possible to prevent the condition from further development to a situation that is difficult to control.
