What causes low platelets in pancreatic cancer

Low platelet count in pancreatic cancer may be caused by normal phenomena, drug effects, hypersplenism, tumor invasion of bone marrow, septic shock, etc. It is recommended to seek medical attention in time and take appropriate improvement or treatment measures under the guidance of a doctor. The details are as follows:

1. Normal phenomenon: There may be thrombocytopenia, which is due to the blood system of pancreatic cancer patients being affected by the tumor, resulting in reduced platelet production. Low platelets caused by normal physiological phenomena usually do not require special treatment.

2. Drug effects: Pancreatic cancer patients may need chemotherapy, radiotherapy and other treatments, which may suppress the bone marrow and lead to reduced platelet production. Relevant drugs can be discontinued under the doctor's advice. Depending on the degree of platelet decrease, drugs such as aminopeptidase tablets, eltrombopag ethanolamine tablets, and recombinant human interleukin-11 for injection can be used for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

3. Hypersplenism: It usually causes the spleen to enlarge, which leads to hypersplenism. The spleen will destroy too many platelets, leading to thrombocytopenia. Control your diet and avoid strenuous activities. At the same time, you can follow the doctor's advice to use drugs such as Licojun Tablets, Compound Biejia Soft Liver Tablets, and Entecavir Tablets for treatment.

4. Tumors invade the bone marrow: The bone marrow may be invaded, resulting in the inhibition of bone marrow hematopoiesis, which leads to a decrease in platelet production. Anti-tumor treatments such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy or targeted therapy can be carried out under the doctor's advice. You can also eat more peanut skins at ordinary times, or use drugs such as Yixuesheng Capsules, Licojun Tablets, and Guipi Pills for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

5. Septic shock: Septic shock may occur, which will lead to decreased platelet aggregation and adhesion function, resulting in thrombocytopenia. If this symptom occurs, you should seek medical attention in time, fully replenish fluids, and correct shock. Platelet transfusion, plasma transfusion, etc. can be performed under the doctor's operation for treatment.

Acute myocardial infarction and other conditions may also cause this condition. In daily life, we must ensure nutritional intake, especially foods rich in high-quality protein, vitamins and trace elements. Avoid eating foods that are too hard or irritating.
