since there is destruction of the platelets, the red blood cell production in the bone marrow will increase since the platelet production will not compete with it.

What causes hematocrit level to increase?
There are many different things that can cause your hematocrit levels to rise. Some of these things include dengue fever, polycythemia vera, COPD, and dehydration.

Can Dengue kill you?
The answer, unfortunately, is possible. There are four types of dengue virus. If a person is infected by any one of those four types, though it is not entirely impossible to die from it, it very rarely happens. It can even act like a vaccine, providing some immunity from the same type of virus to the infected person. However, if the same person (already infected by one of the four types some times before) gets infected from a different type, - any other of the remaining three, -dengue fever could develop into a more severe form, - earlier known as Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever, presently called as Severe Dengue Fever. That severe form could be fatal. There is neither vaccination nor specific treatment against either Dengue Fever or its more dangerous form, the Severe Dengue Fever. However, prompt medical care could often save life even in the case of the severe form. Since Severe Dengue Fever patients are loosing serious amounts of body fluids, - including blood -, the most vital treatment is keeping the fluid level to optimal, thus diminishing the complications which could have lead to death. More detailed information can be found in the related links.
What happen when hematocrit level is low normal range?
The hematocrit is the percentage of the blood that is red blood cells so a low hematocrit usually means the red blood cells are low. The most common reason for this is increased blood loss, often from menstrual or gastrointestinal bleeding. It could also be from decreased production due to a bone marrow problem or vitamin or iron deficiency or some more unusual problems.
Why there is bradycardia in dengue?
It is known that dengue fever can affect the heart in several ways, including weakened force and speed of contraction and slowed pulse rate. Along with some other febrile illnesses ( illnesses with fever) dengue may demonstrate "relative bradyardia", that is, heart rate lower than would be expected for a given level of fever. The mechanism is not clear but may be mediated through the immune system or may be related to an inflammation of the heart. The presence of a relatively slow heart rate in the presence of a high fever is not diagnostic for dengue but indicates the need for testing for dengue, or if testing is not available is probably sufficient indication to treat for dengue. Finally, in the terminal stages of many conditions, including severe hemorrhagic dengue fever, massive loss of fluids out of the circulatory system into the tissues may result from damage to the capillaries (the smallest blood vessels). In these circumstances the body may not be able to compensate for the low circulating volume and blood flow to the vital organs, including the brain and the heart itself may be diminished to critical levels resulting in slowing of the heart, usually as a precursor to death. This cause of bradycardia is more properly regarded as part of the complex process known as "shock" rather than as a symptom of any specific disease.
Is a hematocrit of 27.7 critical in an adult female?
A hematocrit of 27.7 in an adult female is low, but is not considered a critical level requiring emergency contact and follow-up.
Can dengue fever kill you?
Yes, in a small number of cases the disease develops into the life-threatening dengue hemorrhagic fever, resulting in bleeding or into dengue shock syndrome, where dangerously low blood pressure occurs.yes infact it may cause death
Is there a connection between hematocrit and peripheral edema?
usually peripheral edema is cause by right sided heart failure . people with COPD have polycythemia , means high level of RBCs , means high level of hemoglobin . when hemoglobin is high , hematocrit is high also . People who have a high hematocrit count may be at higher risk for heart problems
What causes increased hematocrit and is 59 reason for concern?
59 is well outside the normal range and just below the critical level, so yes, it should be followed up. The increase is typically due to excessive numbers of blood cells.
What is a nursing diagnosis for fever?
Nursing diagnosis for dengue patient. 1. The main target in treating a dengue patient is to reduce the fever. This can be done by tepid sponging,giving acetaminophen and encouraging patient to drink alot of water 2.next the platlet level is monitors continuously with blood test and blood transfusion is done to prevent great loss of platelet. 3.An IV transfusion of normal saline is done to hydrate patient to help them urinate and to remove the virus via urine.
Which component of blood is checked during the blood test for Dengue?
To identify the disease Dengue blood tests are done. During these tests, the platelet count of the blood is checked. If the patient have Dengue, the platelet can be very low than the normal level.
If your bone marrow is producing an elevated number of red blood cells what happens to your hematocrit?
The percentage goes up. (Hematocrit is the percentage of red blood cells in a sample of whole blood, so if an elevated number of red blood cells is produced by your bone marrow, your hematocrit level should rise).
