Thrombocytopenia

A low platelet count is called thrombocytopenia. This condition can range from mild to severe, depending on its underlying cause. Some people with thrombocytopenia may not experience any symptoms; for more severe cases, uncontrollable bleeding can result in death. Thrombocytopenia can be caused by a range of factors such as pregnancy, medical conditions such as leukemia, or certain allopathic medications (such as blood thinners).

Mild thrombocytopenia happens in about 12% of pregnancies and is the primary cause of low platelet counts during pregnancy. During pregnancies there is very limited space in abdomen for all organs, this effects the pancreases too which leads to lower functioning.

Some diseases like dengue, malaria, spleen infections, leukemia etc also could be the cause of low platelets count.

What is a low platelet count?

Blood is made up of several types of cells which float plasma. The types of blood cells are:

red blood cells,
white blood cells,
platelets (also called thrombocytes).

Symptoms

Symptoms include easy bruising or unexpected or prolonged bleeding. It’s common for people with mild thrombocytopenia to not experience symptoms. Often, mild thrombocytopenia is found during a blood test, like a complete blood count (CBC).

When thrombocytopenia does cause symptoms, they can include:

fatigue,
cuts, scrapes, or other small injuries that bleed for a long time,
nosebleeds,
bleeding gums,
hematuria,
bloody stool,
blood in any other bodily discharge,
heavy menstrual bleeding,
bruising that happens easily and takes a long time to heal,
small, flat red spots under the skin called petechiae,
red, purple, or brown-yellow spots under the skin called purpura,
a rash with small red or purple dots.

In more severe cases, one may bleed internally. Symptoms include:

Bloody stool,
Hematuria,
Bloody or very dark vomit,
Sometimes thrombocytopenia may lead to bleeding into brain.

Causes of a low platelet count

There are many potential causes of low platelet count, for example:

Bone marrow issues

All the components of blood, including platelets, are produced in bone marrow. There are multiple reasons why a person’s bone marrow may not create enough platelets, for example:

aplastic anemia
certain vitamin deficiencies such as vitamin B12, folate, and iron,
viral infections, for example HIV, Epstein-Barr, mumps, rubella (measles), and chickenpox,
exposure to chemotherapy, radiation, or toxic chemicals,
consuming alcohol,
cirrhosis,
certain types of cancers such as leukemia and lymphoma etc,
myelodysplasia,
Genetic conditions such as May-Heglin and Wescott-Aldrich syndromes etc.

Platelet destruction

Platelets live about 7-10 days in normal situations. A low platelet count can be a result of the body destroying too many platelets too quickly.

Some reasons a body might destroy its platelets include:

side effects of certain allopathic medications for example – diuretics, antibiotics, blood thinners, and anti-seizure medications etc,
splenomegaly,
autoimmune disorders such as immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), lupus, rheumatoid arthritis etc,
pregnancy, especially in the final weeks before delivery,
infectious diseases,
rare but serious conditions such as thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, hemolytic uremic syndrome, and disseminated intravascular coagulation,
surgeries like bypass surgery, blood transfusions, artificial heart valves etc.

Who’s at risk for thrombocytopenia?

Risk factors for thrombocytopenia include:

Certain medications: Some medications, like heparin, quinine, and anti-seizure drugs, can destroy platelets or slow down how fast your body produces platelets.
Excessive alcohol: alcoholism or chronic consumption (alcohol is toxic to, liver, spleen, kidneys and bone marrow).
Exposure to toxic chemicals: Chemicals like drugs industry, arsenic, petroleum/benzene, paints, plastic factories, pesticides etc.
Blood cancers: Blood cancers, like lymphoma and leukemia, damages bone marrow and interrupt the production of platelets.
Autoimmune conditions/overactivity: Lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, thrombotic thrombocytopenia purpura etc. can cause our body to attack and destroy our platelets.
Aplastic anemia: Aplastic anemia reduces the number of new blood cells produced by our bone marrow.
Splenomegaly: due to infections like malaria, dengue etc and other viral or bacterial. When spleen is enlarged, it can hold onto more platelets than normal.
Pregnancy: Mild thrombocytopenia sometimes develops around the due date.
Surgery: Tools, machines and artificial parts used during surgery can destroy platelets.

Diagnosis

Physical examination

If your doctor suspects a low platelet count, they will first do a physical exam. Your doctor will check your body for unusual bruising or evidence of petechiae (sign of capillary bleeding that often accompanies a low platelet count).

Medical history

Ask your patient about the following:

any family history of bleeding disorders,
any medications especially allopathic that patient take,
eating patterns,
alcohol intake and IV drug use,
current sex protection methods.

Tests

There are multiple blood, bone marrow, and ultrasound tests that can help a doctor diagnose this condition and determine the underlying cause(s).

Blood tests

To diagnose low platelet count, your doctor will need to do a complete blood count (CBC) test. A typical platelet count will range between 150,000 and 450,000 platelets per milliliter of blood.
Blood smear test (to see the platelet’s shape).
Platelet antibodies (proteins that destroy platelets). Platelet antibodies can be produced as a side effect of certain allopathic drugs such as heparin, antibiotics, antivirals etc or for other reasons.
Blood-clotting tests, including partial thromboplastin time and prothrombin time.

Ultrasound

If your doctor suspects that your spleen is enlarged, they may order an ultrasound.

Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy

A bone marrow test – there are two types of bone marrow tests: a biopsy (a sample of core bone marrow is removed, usually from the hipbone.) and an aspiration (a small amount of bone marrow is removed from one of the bones). In some cases, both tests may be performed at the same time.

Allopathic treatment for thrombocytopenia

There is not any treatment for low platelets counts in allopathy. According to allopathic theory, if the condition is mild, an allopathic doctor will simply monitor the patient.

If patient’s low platelet count is more severe, patient may need medical treatment. Treatment options may include:

blood or platelet transfusions,
changing medications that are causing a low platelet count,
Prescribing steroids, immune globulin, or other medicines that suppress patient’s immune system,
Splenectomy (spleen removal surgery).
