What to do if blood cell count decreases

As we all know, the plaques in our blood can play a role in blood clotting. However, if the number of thrombin in the blood decreases, bleeding will not stop. Even after the blood cell count drops to a safe level, some diseases may still occur. So, what should you do if you encounter a decrease in blood cells? Let us introduce it to you below. Of course the best way is treatment.

The degree of thrombocytopenia depends on the extent. If the platelet count is reduced but the count is still >50×10E9/L, then observation can be continued. At this time, the patient will basically not have spontaneous bleeding. If the platelet count is >20×10E9/L but <50×10E9/L, observation can be continued. However, if surgical puncture or operation is required, platelet transfusion will be required. If the platelet count is <20×10E9/L, platelet transfusion should be given in time. There are many causes of thrombocytopenia, which can be seen in adverse drug reactions or hypersplenism. The cause must be identified before considering treatment.

Prevention and control of infection is one of the key aspects of treating aplastic anemia. Therefore, in daily life, we must maintain good personal hygiene and clean and disinfect the environment in order to reduce the chance of infection. If an infection occurs, strong antibiotics should be used early to effectively prevent the spread of the infection. If the bleeding occurs on the skin or nasal mucosa, appropriate hemostatic drugs can be used. In addition, blood transfusion is currently the main supportive therapy. Especially component transfusions, such as concentrated red blood cells.

1 First: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is one of the most common treatment options now. Generally speaking, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is recommended for patients under 40 years old who have not received blood transfusions and have not had infections. Specific methods include bone marrow transplantation, umbilical cord blood infusion and fetal liver cell infusion.

2 Second: Androgen is one of the most common drugs for treating chronic aplastic anemia, and it can also be said to be the first choice treatment drug. The use of this drug can effectively stimulate the kidneys to produce erythropoietin, and can also promote the production of red blood cells.

3 Third: For the treatment of severe aplastic anemia, immunosuppressants are currently one of the preferred drugs, especially those that have the effect of inhibiting T lymphocytes or nonspecific autoimmune reactions. It can be seen from this that the use of drugs to treat aplastic anemia should also be differentiated into different types.

Aplastic anemia is extremely harmful to the patient's body, which I believe many people are aware of. However, this disease is also preventable. It is recommended to understand the common causes and avoid them.
