150000 to 400000/mm3
A normal platelet count for a human ranges between 150,000 and 450,000 platelets per microliter. The average platelet count for men is 237,000 per microliter. The average platelet count for women is 266,000 per microliter.
1 unit prp increases platelet count by 10,000.
In adults one pack of platelets will increase the platelet count by 10,000/ml (Unless there is no destruction of platelets eg: in immune thrombocytopenia)
A normal platelet count is between 150,000 and 450,000 platelets per microliter (one-millionth of a liter, abbreviated mcL). The average platelet count is 237,000 per mcL in men and 266,000 per mcL in women. A platelet count below 150,000 per mcL is called thrombocytopenia, while a platelet count over 450,000 is called thrombocytosis. Platelets seem to have a large backup capacity: blood typically still clots normally as long as the platelet count is above 50,000 per mcL (assuming no other problems are present). Spontaneous bleeding doesn't usually occur unless the platelet count falls to 10,000 or 20,000 per mcL. If you have listed yours without zeros, it is high (thrombocytosis). If there are no zeros, I am surprised you could ask this question.
Yes, My platelet count was 421 thousand before my splenectomy. One week after removal it was at 2.1 million. Two weeks after my platelet count was at 2.4. My doctors are hoping that it will come down on it's own, but as it looks right now I will have to be on medication to reduce my platelet count. They are expecting it to always be at an elevated level, but they did not expect such high numbers.
As many as necessary to prevent bleeding associated with thrombocytopenia. In patients refractory to random donor platelet transfusions, platelet crossmatching may identify units providing better platelet count increases. If crossmatching is not effective, HLA matching of platelets may be necessary.
One of the causes of low platelets is Aplastic Anemia. which is a rare form of blood disorder where in the body's reduces producing new blood cells. This mainly happens if the blood stem cells get damaged and the body is unable to replace the damaged ones. The overall result will be low count in the red or white blood cells and platelets. Aplastic Anemia also causes fatigue, uncontrolled bleeding and high infection risks. Hope this helps.
Having a low blood count means your blood is low on one of it's cell types. The symptoms are different depending on which, for example a low red cell count makes you anaemic and a low white cell count makes your immunity system drop.
A low platelet count is not specific for any one diagnosis, i.e. there are a lot of conditions that can cause it. You should follow up with your doctor to investigate it. A platelet count of 100,000 may not actually be associated with any disorder in a given individual, as the normal range (150-400k) is statistically determined based on sampling a large number of individuals who are thought to be disease-free.
Blood spurted everywhere. I was quickly passing out. I couldn't take much more of the pain, but before I blacked out I said to Jimmy "Don't let him go for my sake." One Year Earlier
Follow your doctor's orders closely.
Complications of thrombocytosis include stroke, heart attack, and formation of blood clots in the arms and legs. A doctor should be notified whenever bleeding is unexplained or prolonged or the patient develops.
