Patient's question:
On the 9th, I discovered blood in my urine. When I went to the hospital for testing, it was found that my platelet count was only 69,000. I was admitted for treatment. On the 11th, it recovered to 110,000, but today it has dropped again to 68,000. What treatment plan is safe and feasible?Duration and onset of this illness: 9-12
What medications should I take? Are there any Chinese herbal remedies?
Doctor's answer:
It is beneficial to consume more red-skinned peanuts and red mushrooms in daily life, as they support platelet production. If necessary, platelet transfusion is the fastest and most effective method. I don’t know what type of thrombocytopenia you have, but hematuria indicates some kidney damage. It is recommended to undergo traditional Chinese medicine treatment to reduce kidney damage. The normal platelet count ranges from 100,000 to 300,000. Yours is 60,000, which is a decrease in platelet count. The most critical step now is to identify the cause of the reduction. It is advisable to first undergo a blood test at the hospital for a review. If necessary, bone marrow puncture can be performed to examine bone marrow conditions and immunological tests. This helps rule out related diseases such as aplastic anemia.
