Thrombocytopenia is a benign blood disease, there are a variety of clinical treatment methods, platelet transfusion, propylation balls, oral drugs, etc., generally through effective treatment, the patient's platelet value will be significantly improved. Some patients think that if the value rises, they don't have to continue taking drugs, is this really the case?
In fact, during treatment, it is easier to increase the value of platelets, but it is difficult to stabilize the value. There are many patients with thrombocytopenia who have the problem of recurrence after discontinuation of the drug or even a decline in values during the medication, and the constitution and condition of each patient are different, and some patients will also have bleeding after the thrombocytopenia is elevated.
Thrombocytopenia with these conditions require caution when discontinuing the drug!
1: disease with a clear peptic ulcer;
2: High risk of trauma or falls, especially in elderly patients;
3: Patients with simultaneous application of antiplatelet drugs or anticoagulants;
4: Patients with platelets between 30-50, or even higher, but still have bleeding manifestations;
5: patients who need surgical treatment;
Usually, platelet values below 50 will have a risk of skin and mucous membrane bleeding, if platelets are less than 20, there will be a high risk of spontaneous bleeding; severe bleeding tendencies will endanger the patient's life, such as intracranial hemorrhage, organ bleeding, etc.
Therefore, patients with thrombocytopenia who have the above conditions should not rush to stop the drug, should follow the doctor's instructions, promote the platelets to a safe range, consolidate treatment for a period of time, achieve the numerical stability of platelets, and ensure that no bleeding occurs. Patients who have stopped taking the drug should also be reviewed regularly to prevent the condition from rebounding.
The main goal of treating thrombocytopenia is not to necessarily increase the value to the normal range, but to stabilize in a relatively safe range and no longer have bleeding symptoms. In most cases, patients with thrombocytopenia need to raise the platelet value to at least 50 or more to prevent the risk of bleeding.
