Platelet 40+, generally refers to a platelet count of 40×10^9/L, which may produce serious harms such as visceral bleeding, gastrointestinal bleeding as well as intracranial hemorrhage, in addition to life-threatening due to serious primary diseases.
1. Internal hemorrhage: the normal range of platelets is generally (100~300)×10^9/L. If it drops to 40×10^9/L, the coagulation function of the organism will be affected, and there is a possibility of hemorrhage from the liver, spleen and other organs.
2. Gastrointestinal bleeding: when the platelet count is about 40×10^9/L, the mucosal tissues of the gastrointestinal tract may also have abnormal bleeding, and the patient may have abdominal pain, black stools and other abnormal symptoms.
3. Intracranial hemorrhage: when the platelet count is lower than the normal range, it may also lead to hemorrhage in intracranial blood vessels, and sometimes the hemorrhage will be larger, which may lead to the death of the patient.
4. Malignant blood diseases such as acute leukemia will have thrombocytopenia, which can be life-threatening in a short period of time due to progressive aggravation of the disease, combined with severe anemia and infection.
When the platelet count is 40×10^9/L, the organism may have serious bleeding tendency which may lead to various complications. It is necessary to seek medical treatment in time to find out the cause and carry out regular treatment under the guidance of physicians, and the change of platelet count should also be rechecked regularly at a later stage, so as to return to normal slowly.
