What is the normal platelet count?

Anyone who has some knowledge of human physiology knows that the normal level of human platelets is 100 to 300, but everyone also needs to know that human platelets are in a constant renewal process. The lifespan of each platelet is relatively short, generally about ten days, so platelets will continue to be lost, and then new platelets will be replenished. In short, it is very important to maintain platelets within a normal level.

What is the normal platelet count?

The normal platelet count is between 100 and 300, and anything less than 100 is considered low. It can be seen in many causes.

Guidance:

The treatment of primary thrombocytopenic purpura depends on the specific degree of platelet reduction, and includes platelet transfusion, glucocorticoids, splenectomy, etc.

Thrombocytopenic purpura can be divided into two types: acute and chronic. The acute type is common in children, accounting for 90% of immune thrombocytopenia cases. It is recommended to use diet therapy, you can try "Three Red Soup". The "Three Red Soup" consists of 7 red dates, 50 grams of red beans, and an appropriate amount of red-skinned peanuts. Boil the three ingredients together and eat the soup together.

The normal value of peripheral blood white blood cells in normal people is 4.0×109/L~10×109/L, and the normal value of platelets is 100×109~300×109/L.

Guidance:

When thrombocytopenia is severe, patients may experience extensive bleeding, manifested as petechiae, ecchymoses, epistaxis, visceral or subcutaneous bleeding, gastrointestinal or genitourinary tract bleeding, and even intracranial bleeding.

The number of platelets in an adult's blood is (1~3)×10^11/L

Guidance:

Platelets have a specific morphological structure and biochemical composition. Their number in normal blood is relatively constant (for example, the human platelet count is 100,000 to 300,000 per cubic millimeter). They play an important role in physiological and pathological processes such as hemostasis, wound healing, inflammatory response, thrombosis, and organ transplant rejection.

Death due to decreased or ineffective platelet production, excessive platelet destruction, and excessive platelet retention in the spleen. Death due to decreased or ineffective platelet production includes both hereditary and acquired causes; excessive platelet destruction includes both congenital and acquired causes; excessive platelet retention in the spleen is most commonly seen in hypersplenism. The general symptoms of low platelets are easy bleeding under the skin and mucous membranes such as the nose, mouth and teeth, while bleeding into the joints can cause joint swelling.

2. The harm of thrombocytopenia to people manifests itself in many aspects. The chronic type is more common, accounting for 80% of primary thrombocytopenic purpura. Most of them are 10-40 years old, and the number of females is 3-4 times that of males. Onset is insidious. Systemic symptoms may occur at the same time as bleeding symptoms, such as chills, fever, body aches, nausea, vomiting, headache, abdominal pain, joint pain, skin itching and flushing, etc.

3. Low platelet count can be detected through blood tests. If the patient's condition worsens and dies within a short period of time, it may be caused by blood cancer. If the disease is discovered in time and treated promptly, the condition may not worsen. Patients with thrombocytopenia often have skin and mucous membrane bleeding, purpura, and in severe cases, bleeding in other parts of the body such as nose bleeding, gingival bleeding, or severe hematemesis, hemoptysis, blood in the stool, hematuria, etc. Intracranial hemorrhage is the fatal cause of this disease.

What are the consequences of low platelets? The above content is a detailed answer to this question. I believe that everyone should now understand and realize that the consequences of low platelets on people’s health are very serious. Therefore, only by going to a regular hospital for treatment in time can patients control the disease as soon as possible and relieve the pain.
