Blood test shows high platelet count

How to check blood has always been a concern for people. In fact, more and more young people now do not pay much attention to blood examinations in their daily lives, but always think that high platelets are actually nothing. When it happens to children, parents will be very worried because they hope they will get sick and do not want their children to get sick. When a child’s platelet count is found to be high, what should they pay attention to?

The reason why children have high platelet count is that the normal platelet count of a person is one hundred to three hundred times ten to the ninth power per liter. High platelet count can be caused in many cases, and there are physiological reasons. Normal people generally have a change of 6% to 10% a day, which is lower in the morning and slightly higher in the afternoon, lower in spring and slightly higher in winter. It can also increase after exercise. Pathological myeloproliferative diseases, primary thrombocythemia, acute hemolysis, and acute suppurative infection can all cause increased platelet count. If the platelet count is only slightly increased, it is generally considered to be reactive thrombocytosis, which is common in acute and chronic inflammation, iron deficiency anemia, etc. This type of increase generally does not exceed five hundred times ten to the ninth power per liter. After treatment, the number of platelets will quickly return to normal levels. Children themselves are relatively weak, and their ability to resist diseases is slightly worse than that of adults, so inflammation may be more common, and some children may have iron deficiency anemia, which may also cause high platelet counts. Therefore, if a child is found to have high platelet counts, go to the hospital for timely treatment, check the cause clearly, and then treat it symptomatically.

What can't you eat if your platelet count is too high?

Elevated platelet count refers to a platelet count greater than four hundred times ten to the ninth power per liter. This is a condition we often encounter clinically. Patients are also more concerned about their diet. It is recommended to eat foods that can dilute the blood, such as hawthorn, black fungus, garlic, onion, green onion, bell pepper, shiitake mushrooms, strawberry, pineapple, lemon, etc. These foods can inhibit platelet aggregation and prevent platelet formation, so you can eat more of them. In addition, drinking plenty of water and a proper diet are very important.

Foods that should not be eaten include eating less animal offal and fat, eating less fried food, and not eating too much meat and greasy food for dinner. Eat less sweets, eat more light food, a combination of coarse and fine grains, eat more foods rich in phosphatidylcholine, eat more soybeans and soy products, eat more fruits and vegetables containing vitamin C, which are very important for the treatment of high platelets.
