What is a low platelets count?
A low platelet count, called thrombocytopenia, causes the blood to fail to clot easily. A healthy platelet count should be between 150,000 and 450,000 platelets per micro liter of blood. A level lower than 150,000 platelets indicates thrombocytopenia.
What level should your blood be at when you are on blood thinners?
my level should be between 2 -3. Less 2 to thick makes clots more than 3 to thin, can bleed out.
What is the normal platelet level for 3 year old boy?
Age or size is not considered. The normal number of platelets in the blood is 150,000 to 400,000 platelets per microliter (mcL) for everyone.
Can you have a stroke with a 411 platelet level?
Excess platelets can increase your risk for blood clotting, including strokes and heart attack.
Does your cholesterol level change if i lose blood?
Probably. Since most cholesterol (if not all) is contained in the blood and causes clots and such, losing blood should result in a minuscule (too little to matter) loss in cholesterol.
Is a creatinine blood level of 1.06 cause for concern?
creatinine blood level of 1.06 byitself is not a cause for concern. Normal adult levels are 0.5/0.6 to 1.1/1.2.
What else can cause blood alcohol level to change?
Alcohol
Why hematocrit level is increased in dengue fever?
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 is the blood alcohol level cause you to get a DWI in Arkansas?

Hi Roseann-I'd be ha?
Hi Roseann-I'd be happy to help you with this. Platelets are part of your body's way of clotting blood and preventing bleeding. When platelets are low, your body cannot stop bleeding as effectively, which may lead to bruising, oozing from mucous membranes (for example, the gums, nose or anus), or even more severe bleeding. The lower the platelets, the higher the risk for serious bleeding.The normal range for platelets is generally considered to be between 150,000-400,000 platelets per microliter of blood. Technically, thrombocytopenia (low platelets) is diagnosed when levels fall below 150,000/microliter. However, levels slightly outside the normal range do not necessarily indicate disease. While your husband's platelet count is slightly low, it in fact may be nothing to worry about, and certainly there is no risk for serious bleeding at that level-in fact, he may not even have any symptoms at all. That being said, the platelet level should be monitored and, if persistently low, further investigation may be necessary. Anything that reduces the production of platelets or consumes/destroys them will cause thrombocytopenia. Platelets can also get trapped in a large spleen, which can occur for a variety of reasons. Medications, alcohol use, liver disease, autoimmune disease (idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, or ITP), vitamin deficiency, bone marrow disease, and kidney disease are considerations that the hematologist will make. A laboratory error is always possible as well, so a repeat platelet level will be necessary to confirm the number. Your husband likely underwent some bloodwork that will give additional information about the quality and character of his platelets and other blood cells (like red and white blood cells) as well as the basic functioning of his major internal organs like the liver and kidneys. A peripheral blood smear will be done, in which the blood is closely examined under a microscope.
If you have a blood clot in your knee when pregnant can you get surgery on it and if you do not get surgery what will happen?
yes you can get surgery,if you don't you will get more blood clots and you could become paralized blood clots can kill you, the blood cant flow to the rest of the leg, so then it would turn black and die, but all that blood trying to flow that way would start getting bad since it wasnt getting filtered so that blood would become toxic and can kill you, you must take some blood thinner right away and be watched by a doctor for it to go away. blood thinner wiill normally get rid of blood clots with in a few hours. ------------------------- no that's not true. blood thinners cant get rid of blood clots within a few hours. that's 100% absolutely wrong. i just had a pulminary embelysm which means i have two blood clots in my lung. why it is dangerous what the previous answer said is incorrect. it doesnt cut off all blood flow to the leg, it just makes it harder which gives you a sharp pain. it wont kill your leg from making your blood toxic. if this does happen you don't got o a doctor, you need to go to a hospital. they run some tests, and usually a catscan to see if there are some blood clots, and if there are you will be admitted to the hospital. which this is dangerous during pregnancy there are some precautions they can take. bt you will typcially be administered a drip blood thinner like heparin till your blood level becomes therapudic, then they put you on an oral blood thinner such as cumadic. it typically means you have to be on this pill for 6 months give or take. blood clots can be the cause if you are taking birth control, or maybe recently had surgery. hope this helped rather than the answer previously which was incorrect. next time they should only give advice if they actually know what they are talking about.
