Out bone marrow – a spongy tissue inside the bones, produces blood platelet cells. These cells circulate in the blood that and help stop bleeding and form clots. They stop bleeding by clumping and forming plugs in blood vessel injuries.
Platelets or thrombocytes are small, colourless cell fragments in our blood
Thrombocytopenia is a medical condition when there is reduction in the number of platelets of the blood causing bleeding problems.
It affects both children and adults.
Blood platelet count varies between 150,000 and 4,50,000 per micro liter of blood. Dropping of the platelet count below this range is known as thrombocytopenia.
Severe thrombocytopenia can cause bleeding into the brain, which can be fatal.
Common Symptoms of low platelets count.
- Spontaneous bruising (purpura)
- Bleeding into the skin surfaces.
- Prolonged bleeding after an injury or a cut.
- Petechiae – pinpoint-sized spots of bleeding under the skin or mucous membranes, on lower leg and abdomen etc.
- Bleeding from your gums or nose
- Blood in urine or stools
- Unusually heavy menstrual flows
- Fatigue or general weakness
- Enlarged spleen
Possible Causes and Risk factors
- Thrombocytopenia might occur due to a bone marrow disorder such as leukaemia.
- An immune system problem.
- Autoimmune diseases, such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.
- Side effect of taking certain medications such as chemotherapy drugs or radiation therapy.
- Certain medications can reduce the number of platelets including heparin, quinine, sulfa-containing antibiotics and anticonvulsants.
- Increased sequestration (separation of spleen.)
- An enlarged spleen can harbour too many platelets, which decreases the number of platelets in circulation.
- Decreased production of platelets by the liver.
- Some types of anaemia (aplastic)
- Heavy alcohol consumption
- Some conditions can cause your body to use up or destroy platelets faster than they’re produced, leading to a shortage of platelets in your bloodstream, such as during pregnancy:
- Severe bacterial infections.
- Viral infection due to hepatitis C, rubella, cytomegalovirus, mumps, HIV and Epstein-Barr virus etc.
- Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura – a rare disorder when small blood clots suddenly form throughout the body, using up large numbers of platelets.
- Haemolytic uremic syndrome.
- A decrease may arise from cancer, including lymphoma.
- Inherited syndromes like Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome
- May-Hegglin anomaly
PREVENTION – DO’S AND DONTS – Regular blood examination to monitor platelets levels
Things That Can Increase Your Blood Platelet Count
- Eating more leafy greens.
- Eating more fatty fish.
- Increasing folate consumption.
- Avoiding alcohol.
- Eating more citrus.
- Consuming more iron-rich foods.
- Trying a chlorophyll supplement.
- Avoiding vitamin E and fish oil supplements.
