Low white blood cells, platelets, and neutrophils should be treated separately depending on the degree of decline in the values. Slight decreases can be observed and left untreated. If the degree of decline is serious, leukocyte and platelet boosting drugs should be given.
1.Common causes of low white blood cells and neutrophils
(1) Bacterial or viral infection, immune dysfunction: for bacterial or viral infection and immune dysfunction caused by leukopenia and neutropenia, we need to actively treat the primary disease, and after the primary disease has been controlled, the value of leukocytes can be effectively increased.
(2) Myelosuppression after chemotherapy: it is necessary to apply leukocyte-boosting drugs, such as subcutaneous injection of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor.
2. Common causes of low platelet count
(1) Reduced platelet production, due to drugs, ionizing radiation, certain tumors, etc., affecting the hematopoietic function of bone marrow, resulting in reduced platelet production, can be applied to promote platelet production of drugs such as thrombopoietin.
(2) Excessive destruction, due to immune and non-immune factors, leading to excessive destruction of platelets in the body and causing thrombocytopenia. Common diseases include idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, which is effectively treated with hormone therapy.
(3) Hypersplenism, splenectomy is one of the treatments for thrombocytopenia.
In short, white blood cells, platelets, neutrophils need to be lowered by specialists according to the etiology of the history of specific analysis, specific treatment, do not arbitrarily apply their own drugs blind treatment, so as not to delay the condition.
