What happens if you have thrombocytopenia? These symptoms may occur

The most common clinical symptom of thrombocytopenia is anemia. Severe cases can cause leukemia. When thrombocytopenia occurs in the body, the immunity will be reduced and timely treatment is required. The most common treatment is blood transfusion. Pay attention to rest during the illness.

1. Symptoms

1. Clinically, the appearance of anemia symptoms is an important manifestation of thrombocytopenia. However, due to different pathogenic factors of patients, the anemia conditions of patients are also different, which are generally divided into acute and subacute types. Acute mainly refers to diseases such as leukemia, aplastic anemia and acute intravascular hemolysis; subacute mainly refers to common diseases such as acute aplastic anemia, cellular anemia and autoimmune anemia.

2. When suffering from thrombocytopenia, patients will often experience bleeding symptoms. This symptom mainly occurs on the surface of the patient's skin. Generally, large bruises can be clearly seen. In addition, some patients may also experience bleeding symptoms in the gums, nose, mouth, etc. In severe cases, the patient's digestive tract and internal organs may also experience bleeding symptoms.

3. Fever and pale face are also symptoms of thrombocytopenia. This is mainly due to the gradual decline in the patient's resistance, making them susceptible to infection. Clinically, patients often experience symptoms such as fever, pale complexion, and general fatigue. In severe cases, patients may also experience symptoms such as digestive tract infection and urinary tract infection.

Treatment of thrombocytopenia

1. Psychotherapy:

Some patients with thrombocytopenia will become very depressed and anxious when they learn that their condition requires long-term treatment and recuperation. However, this negative emotion will seriously affect the patient's recovery from the disease, so in order to help patients cure the disease faster, it is necessary to keep a happy mood.

2. General treatment:

Acute patients mainly experience heavy bleeding within 1 to 2 weeks of onset. Therefore, in the early stage of the disease, they should reduce activities and avoid trauma, especially head trauma. Severe patients should rest in bed, and actively prevent and control infection. Give adequate fluids and easily digestible food to avoid damage to the luminal mucosa.

3. Transfusion of fresh blood or platelets:

Treatment for thrombocytopenia should be chosen with caution and is only used as an emergency treatment for severe bleeding. Because of the presence of antiplatelet antibodies in the blood of thrombocytopenic patients, the transfused platelets can be quickly destroyed and have a short lifespan. Therefore, blood or platelet transfusions cannot effectively increase the platelet count.
