How to improve platelet index

Platelets have a very important impact on blood health and a person's overall health. If there is a problem with platelets, people will develop many diseases. For example, if the platelet count in school is relatively low, it is an important manifestation of thrombocytopenia. Of course, thrombocytopenia can be treated. Next, I will introduce to you how to increase the platelet index!

1. Emphasis on supportive treatment

If there are obvious symptoms of anemia, blood transfusion should be given if HGB?60g/L; those with neutrophil count of 0.5X109/L should be protectively isolated and receive good skin and oral care. When immunosuppressants are used for treatment, it is necessary to take antibiotics that are not absorbed by the intestine and eat a sterile diet. When platelet count is <20X109/L, bleeding is severe and life-threatening intracranial hemorrhage is likely to occur. Platelet transfusion and large doses of immunoglobulin G are required to keep platelet count above 20X109/L.

2. Type-based diagnosis and treatment

Chronic aplastic anemia is generally treated with supportive care, traditional Chinese medicine and androgens, with good overall therapeutic effects. More than two-thirds of patients can achieve long-term relief or be basically cured through appropriate treatment, but some patients still have persistent disease that is difficult to recover. Severe aplastic anemia progresses rapidly, has a poor prognosis, and has a natural course of about 6 months. Its treatment requires comprehensive treatment such as anti-lymphocyte globulin (ALG) or anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG), cyclosporine, and traditional Chinese medicine to be effective.

3. Early diagnosis, early treatment

A large amount of data shows that patients with chronic aplastic anemia have a shorter course of disease before treatment and have better therapeutic effects. The effective rate was 57% for patients with a disease course of more than two years before treatment, 74% for patients with a disease course of less than two years, and as high as 90% for patients with a disease course of less than half a year. There were significant differences among the three, indicating that early treatment is the key to improving efficacy.

4. Stick to treatment

This has two meanings. First, once the treatment plan is determined, the treatment should be continued for more than half a year. Frequent changes of medication should be avoided without sufficient treatment. Secondly, Researcher Zheng Yizhou from the Institute of Hematology and the Hematology Research Group of the Affiliated Hospital of Shaanxi Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine observed a group (20 cases/14 cases) of chronic aplastic anemia that was difficult to cure. They all achieved good results after sequential treatment with hematopoietic stimulating drugs (including traditional Chinese medicine) for 5-10 years.
