How white blood cells are raised after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation



After hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, boosting white blood cells can be done by using leukocyte-boosting drugs, such as leukocyte-boosting tablets, fexofenestatin and other drugs.

Generally speaking, white blood cells will rise in about three weeks, if white blood cells have not been rising, it is recommended to ask the doctor in time to formulate the next step of treatment, and the use of leukocyte-boosting drugs can be considered.

Leukocyte-boosting drugs can increase the number of white blood cells in the peripheral blood and enhance the patient’s resistance. At present, there are two major types of leukocyte boosting drugs used in clinical practice, namely oral leukocyte boosting drugs and injectable leukocyte boosting drugs.

Oral whitening drugs include: vitamin B4, Lixisheng, Shark Liver Alcohol Tablets, and Diyu Baiyao Tablets. Due to the single use of oral whitening drugs is not effective, so often require two or more kinds of joint use, so as to obtain good results.

The most commonly used injectable whitening drug is fexofenestatin, also known as recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, which has the effect of stimulating the proliferation and differentiation of bone marrow hematopoietic mother cells, and is able to effectively increase the number of white blood cells in the peripheral blood. It should be noted that this drug has more contraindications and cautious use of people, need to be used under the guidance of a doctor, not blindly used.

Consultation with a specialist is recommended for the method of boosting white blood cells after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The drug should be used under medical supervision.
