What is the reason for low monocyte count in thyroid cancer

Low monocyte count in thyroid cancer patients may be due to low immune function, malnutrition, leukemia, liver cirrhosis, etc. It is recommended to go to the hospital in time for targeted treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

1. Low immune function: Thyroid cancer is a malignant tumor, which may be related to genetic factors, or may be caused by ionizing radiation or excessive iodine intake. If the patient has an immune system disease, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, it may cause the body's immunity to decline, thereby affecting the production of lymphocytes, leading to the above situation. Patients can take methotrexate tablets, compound cyclophosphamide tablets and other drugs for treatment under the guidance of a doctor;

2. Malnutrition: If thyroid cancer patients have improper diet for a long time or suffer from other diseases, they may suffer from malnutrition, which will reduce the number of white blood cells in the body, thus causing the above phenomenon. At this time, it is necessary to adjust the diet structure and eat more high-quality protein foods and fresh fruits and vegetables to supplement the nutrients needed by the body and facilitate recovery;

3. Leukemia: Leukemia is a malignant tumor disease of the blood system, which will inhibit normal hematopoiesis and infiltrate other tissues and organs, so it will also lead to low monocytes in thyroid cancer. Patients can take prednisone acetate tablets, dexamethasone tablets and other drugs for treatment as prescribed by the doctor;

4. Liver cirrhosis: Liver cirrhosis is usually caused by long-term inflammation and infection in the liver, which can cause serious damage to liver function and decline in liver function, so it can also cause low monocytes in thyroid cancer. Patients can take entecavir dispersible tablets, tenofovir alafenamide fumarate tablets and other drugs for treatment as prescribed by the doctor.

If the patient also has symptoms such as fatigue and weight loss, metabolic diseases such as diabetes may be present. It is recommended that patients seek medical attention in a timely manner to complete relevant examinations and make a clear diagnosis, and actively treat the primary disease under the guidance of a doctor.
