What are platelets?

 

 Nowadays, everyone is asking the question, what are blood platelets? Apart from dengue, in which diseases are they low? What are their dangerous levels? Will the platelets fall once and become normal again? What are the diseases in which the amount of platelets is low and there is no cure for it or not. We answer all these questions in this article.

In addition to red and white blood cells, there are also platelets. The word platelets is actually derived from plate. They play the role of policeman of the body. These protectors of blood come to this place and accumulate like a plate. They send signals to the brain that more platelets come here and thus all of them accumulate and stop the bleeding.

 

They range from 1.5 million to 4.5 million in the blood of a normal human being.

Nowadays, dengue is a common disease. Even in dengue, it is the last stage when their quantity is reduced to a few thousand. Bleeding starts at this stage, which can lead to the death of a slave. Former Prime Minister Mian Nawaz Sharif has recently tested negative for dengue. However, other viral infections such as hepatitis B and C could be among the other reasons for the decrease in platelets.

Cells or particles in human blood are rarely mentioned in the general media and social media in Pakistan, but for the past few days, former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's condition in prison has deteriorated and his platelets are low. According to medical experts, platelets are actually small plate-shaped particles in the blood of the human body and have a membrane around them. Their function is human. Withdrawal of blood from the body has to be stopped.

 

According to B experts, due to the absence or extreme deficiency of platelets, human blood accumulates in the brain, which can lead to many complications and possibly blood coming out of the body and their deficiency brain hemorrhage. According to experts, the number of platelets in a healthy human body is between one and a half million to four and a half million and the bone marrow is formed automatically as needed.

Some experts believe that if the number of platelets in a person reaches 25,000 or sometimes even 10,000, there is no problem. However, if their number falls below 10,000, there is a risk of bleeding from the human body. And may begin to bleed from the nose.

Lack of lettuce can lead to the spread of certain infections, kidney disease, damage to the body's immune system and drug reactions, and can lead to severe weakness in humans.

To determine the number of platelets in the human body, a blood test called 'Complete Blood Count' (CBC) has to be done which costs from Rs.400 to Rs.1,000 from normal laboratories in Pakistan. The number of platelets is known, but the test also reveals other types of particles, including red and white particles in human blood.

Experts say that the number of platelets can be reduced due to various diseases and such diseases include 'dengue' fever.

Dangerous blood diseases can also lead to low blood platelets in blood cancer and leukemia. In addition, diseases in which the body's immune system is weakened, such as AIDS, SLE and joint disease, platelets are also reduced.

Taking a variety of medications can also cause platelets to fall off. If the platelets start to fall off, they fall off further. The body's immune system is weakened. Bacterial infections worsen the condition. Platelets are also deficient in a variety of bacteria.

One of the most common causes of platelet aggregation is ITP, which means that the body's immune system has become inactive.

Due to which their amount is gradually decreasing. Medicines used in various types of cancer, epilepsy and heparin also reduce their amount. When the speed of platelets in the blood decreases. Weakness in the body becomes shar'i. Due to loss of immunity, a person becomes down. Severe weakness in the body, joint pain.

 

Bleeding starts from the mouth, gums and nose. The joints become swollen. Excessive bleeding can lead to death due to shock. Red spots appear on the body. It seems that Someone has inflicted a wound on the body with a knife. Bleeding from different parts of the body feels like a cut. If a small socket is inserted on the body, the bleeding does not stop.

To diagnose the disease, blood tests like CBC, Hepatitis B and C, Total Body Acne, Bone Marrow Semester and PET Scan are done to diagnose the disease. The disease also increases the spleen. The amount of platelets decreases. Platelets are suddenly detected. They are gradually reduced, but it is not detected until the person dies of the disease.

 

Diagnosis then reveals the cause of the deficiency, but bleeding from different parts of the body indicates that the disease has spread to dangerous levels. Bleeding from different parts of the body is a medical emergency. See a doctor and hospital immediately. Platelets deficiency is treated immediately by applying mega platelet kits, but despite their application, platelets and white blood cells continue to break down.

In addition to mega-kits, immunoglobulin drips are used to boost the body's immune system.

If there is a deficiency due to any medicine, this medicine is stopped immediately. While treating dengue patients, it was observed and tested that in patients infected with dengue virus, the amount of platelets in dengue fever drops. If so, using papaya leaf juice immediately increases their quantity.

If nothing happens, then mega-kits of platelets are applied and if that doesn't matter, then immunoglobulin drips are applied to reactivate the body's immune system. The amount of platelets increases significantly. If the amount of platelets continues to decrease, then there is no cure, then the spleen is removed by surgery.

As a result of which the amount of platelets decreases. If steroid aid drugs are not working, then some drugs are also given to reactivate your immune system, which in some cases will definitely help, but this Such drugs also have side effects that can lead to further complications.
