Nowadays, everyone is asking the question, what are blood platelets? In which
diseases are they low apart from dengue? What is their dangerous level? Once
the platelets fall, they return to normal. Are there? In which diseases the
amount of platelets is low and is there any treatment or not. We present the
answers to all these questions in this article.
In addition to red and white cells, blood also contains platelets. The word platelets is actually derived from plate. They play the role of the policeman of the body. When there is a cut on any part of the body. Bleeding begins. These blood protectors come into this area and form a plaque. They send signals to the brain to attract more platelets and stop the bleeding.
Their quantity in the blood of a normal person ranges from one and a half lakh to four and a half lakh.
Today, dengue is a common disease. Dengue also has the final stage when their number is reduced to a few thousand. Bleeding starts at this stage, which can lead to the death of a person. So far this year, 52 deaths from dengue have been reported. It has happened in Abad and Rawalpindi. Recently, former Prime Minister Mian Nawaz Sharif's dengue test has come negative, however, among other reasons for the decrease in platelets, there may be other viral infections such as hepatitis B and C.
Generally, the cells or particles in human blood in Pakistan are rarely mentioned in the general media and social media, but for the past few days, former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's health has deteriorated in prison and his platelets have decreased. Everyone seems to be talking about them. According to medical experts, platelets are actually small plate-shaped particles in the blood of the human body, i.e. cells, and they are surrounded by a membrane. The withdrawal of blood from the body is prevented.
According to medical experts, due to the absence or extreme deficiency of platelets, human blood accumulates in the brain, due to which many complications can arise and possibly blood can start coming out of the body and their deficiency can lead to brain hemorrhage. According to experts, the number of platelets in a healthy human body ranges from 150,000 to 450,000 and the bone pulp is formed automatically as needed.
Some experts believe that if the number of platelets in a person goes up to 25,000 or even 10,000, there is no problem. It happens and the nose may also start bleeding.
A lack of platelets can cause certain infections to spread, kidney disease, immune system disorders and drug reactions, and a person may become very weak.
To find out the number of platelets in the human body, a blood test called 'Complete Blood Count' (CBC) has to be done, which is from 400 to 1000 rupees from normal laboratories in Pakistan. Through the CBC test, not only in the human body. The number of platelets is known, but with this test, other types of particles including red and white particles in human blood are also known.
Experts say that the number of platelets can be low due to several diseases and such diseases include 'Dengue' fever.
Bleeding disorders such as blood cancer and leukaemia, can also lead to a lack of platelets in the blood. Apart from this, diseases in which the body's immunity is reduced, such as AIDS, SLE and joint disease, platelets are also reduced.
Taking different types of drugs can cause platelets to fall at once. When platelets start to fall, they fall further. The body's immunity decreases. The condition is worsened by viral infections. Various types of bacteria also cause platelet depletion.
A common cause of low platelets is ITP, which means the body's immune system has become inactive.
Due to which their amount is gradually decreasing. Medicines used in different types of cancer, epilepsy drugs and taking Heparin also decrease their amount. When the speed of platelets in the blood decreases. It becomes sharia to have weakness in the body. Due to the loss of immunity, a person becomes down. There is severe weakness in the body, pain in the joints.
Bleeding starts from the mouth, gums and nose. Joints become swollen. Excessive bleeding can lead to death due to shock. Red spots appear on the body. It seems that Someone has inflicted wounds on the body with a knife. Due to the cut, bleeding is felt from different parts of the body. If a socket is applied to the body, the bleeding does not stop.
Blood tests to diagnose the disease include CBC, Hepatitis B and C, Total Body Ekin, Bone Myrosimeter and PET scan to diagnose the disease. Spleen is also enlarged in the disease. Vitamin 2/B and B9 deficiency is the cause. The amount of platelets also decreases. The decrease in platelets is detected suddenly. They continue to decrease gradually, but it is not detected until the person is half dead from the disease.
After diagnosis, the cause of the deficiency is revealed, but bleeding from different parts of the body indicates that the disease has progressed to dangerous levels. Bleeding from different parts of the body is a medical emergency. See a doctor and hospital immediately. Immediate platelet deficiency is treated with Mega Platelet Kits, but platelets and white blood cells continue to break down despite these.
In addition to mega kits, immunoglobulin drops are applied to increase the body's immunity. If the amount of platelets in the blood is not falling due to a disease, as in the case of ITP, then it gradually starts to return to normal on its own. go
If there is a decrease due to a drug, the drug is stopped immediately. While treating dengue patients, it has been observed and tested that in dengue fever, the platelet count decreases in patients infected with dengue virus. If so, consuming papaya leaf juice will immediately start increasing their quantity.
If nothing is formed, then mega-kits of platelets are applied, and if this does not make any difference, then immunoglobulin drops are applied to reactivate the body's immune system. Also, steroid drugs are given to reduce the blood pressure. The amount of platelets increases significantly. If the amount of platelets continues to decrease and there is no treatment, then the spleen is removed by surgery.
Due to which the amount of platelets decreases. If the steroid drugs are not effective, some drugs are also given to reactivate your immune system, which in some cases can definitely cause aphrodisiac, but this Some medicines also have side effects which can lead to further complications.
