The patient’s platelets are only 31, which is considered serious enough to be at risk for bleeding.
The standard value for platelets is 100-300 units. If the platelets are only 31, it is likely to be due to leukemia, aplastic anemia, hemoglobinuria, megaloblastic anemia, and some other bone marrow type disorders. The formation of these diseases may be related to the patient’s life inhaled some toxic gases, such as: benzene, xylene, formaldehyde, etc., the human body inhaled for a long time, will cause the human bone marrow megaloblasts value-added and growth and maturation of the disorder, so that the platelet extremely rapid reduction. The most common is the long-term inhalation of formaldehyde in newly renovated houses, formaldehyde, a toxic gas, may destroy the body platelet production, resulting in the formation of aplastic anemia or acute leukemia and other diseases. Some drugs have the side effect of destroying platelets, and if patients take them for a long time, they will reduce platelets due to excessive destruction. In some patients, hypersplenism or enlargement can lead to excessive retention of platelets in the body, which can reduce the number of platelets in the blood.
Low platelets require some medication to replenish the platelets or a bone marrow transplant to restore the patient’s hematopoietic function, in addition to prompt medical attention.
