Does a hyperactive spleen cause platelet deficiency?
No, a hyperactive spleen does not directly cause platelet deficiency. Platelet deficiency is typically due to decreased platelet production in the bone marrow or increased platelet destruction in the body, such as in immune thrombocytopenia. However, a splenic disorder or enlargement can sometimes lead to increased platelet destruction and contribute to low platelet levels.
Does hyperactive spleen cause platelet deficiency?
YES+
What deficiency can cause the condition known as thrombocytopenia?
A severe deficiency in vitamin B12 (folic acid) can lower the platelet count in the blood, causing slower clotting and possible internal bleeding.
What factors can cause high platelet count?
Factors that can cause a high platelet count are conditions like cancer, iron-deficiency anemia, inflammatory bowel disease, kidney disorder, pancreatitis, tuberculosis, and certain medication. When high platelet counts are high, the medical term for this condition is thrombocytosis.
What causes longer clotting time?
The main cause of a longer clotting time is the deficiency of the clotting factor in the blood. This is as a result of a damaged platelet in the blood cells.
How does an iron deficiency affect high blood platelet counts?
Yes platlets carry o2.
What does anemia and high platelet count indicate?
it could indicate blood loss, iron deficiency or an inflammatory/reactive condition
Does low platelet count cause stroke?
yes
Can a low platelet count cause hair loss?
no
What process is fibrinogen needed?
fibrinogen is needed for platelet aggregation. A patient with a severe deficiency of fibrinogen may have difficulty forming a primary hemostatic plug.
What mineral deficiency cause mental retardation?
Copper deficiency in children is associated with growth retardation. Zinc deficiency, Vitamin A deficiency and other nutritional deficiencies can also cause growth retardation.
What will a deficiency in growth hormone cause?
In bone formation, a deficiency of growth hormone will cause DECREASED PROLIFERATION OF THE EPIPHYSEAL PLATE CARTILAGE.
