what are the natural food items that help me to increase platelet count in my blood?

---

i have a very low platelet count i.e.25,000. pls give me suggestion to improve my count.
I just read an article stating that additives in food like aspartame can in some people cause low platelets. Something to do with the liver & the spleen so, I would advise you try & cut diet soft drinks & foods with high additive count out of your diet.

Do not take medications that interfere with the platelets being able to form a clot.
Aspirin
Ibuprofen (Advil®, Motrin®)
Naproxen (Aleve®)

The 2 standardly accepted ways to stimulate platelet development are:
- getting platelet transfusions
- taking the prescription drug Oprelvekin (Neumega)  (+ info)

Low platelet count and low white blood cell count?

---

I recently had blood work done by an immunologist and when the results came back my platelets and white blood cells were both low. I had it redrawn today to make sure it wasn't a fluke. What could be the cause of both low platelet counts and white blood cell counts? The only other abnormal reading was that my IgM levels were slightly low, with all other Ig levels (IgA, IgG, IgE) being within a normal range.

Any idea what could cause those readings? Thanks for your help!
It's nothing to worry about, i recently had these results after a blood test because i had a swollen gland. The results can come back low if your body has recently fought infection, don't forget you can have a cold without having any symptoms, it's nothing to worry about though.  (+ info)

Blood Platelet Disorder symptoms question?

i sometimes get achy legs, and i sometimes get randomly hungry and ive gotten more headaches this past year than ever. (i used to get like 10-15 a year, this past year ive had like 30)

could i have a platelet disorder? what other symptoms are there? are they dfangerous?
You would need to see a doctor to find out if you have a platelet disorder.

Other conditions can cause your symptoms too.

You can do some research under Hemophilia and you'll find a website which will tell you about bleeding and clotting disorders. They'll also tell you where you can get tested for the disorders.

Good luck.  (+ info)

Can you have high Blood presure with Gitelmans' or similar disorders?

when i get a blood test for lyme and mono can they tell if i have AIDS or other blood disorders?

---

or do they just test for what the purpose of taking the blood is for?

6tubes!
They only run the tests that the doctor has ordered. If you (or your doctor) haven't requested an HIV test, they won't be looking for it.  (+ info)

Those of you with clotting disorders; Does a glass of wine a day help keep the blood thinner?

---

Sweettaker - it's definately no vitamin K. I have a coaulation disorder called "factor v leiden" and my blood tends to clot easily. After my pulmonary embolism, I was advised not to overload on vitamin k rich foods as it will help clot my blood. It must be vitamin E. Thanks for your input. :)
Any type of alcohol consumption causes a minor reduction in clotting ability. Pineapple juice also contains a chemical called bromelain that can have a strong anti-coagulant effect. It is still not verified scientifically whether cranberry juice contains any chemicals that affect clotting, but it might have some effect.   (+ info)

Only your physician will know what your symptoms are caused by. Leukemia is not the most common reason for symptoms but it is possible. You really need to talk to your physician to resolve your concerns. If it is something serious like leukemia, you need to have your physician diagnose you so you can begin treatment.

My son E was diagnosed with a Wilms' Tumour as a newborn, won his battle, and was recently diagnosed with Secondary Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML). AML is related to ALL but is still quite different. His cancer is most likely a secondary cancer caused by the chemotherapy his first time when he fought Wilms. E somehow passed his screenings he has every 3 months back in October but in the end of November we started to notice he wasn't quite himself, and he was diagnosed December 19th.

There are lots of symptoms of leukemia but each individual is different. Some display some symptoms while others display other ones. E had a cold in November that he just couldn't kick. We took him to the doctor and he was given an antibiotic. He got a little better but as soon as he finished the antibiotic he got sick again. He had some joint pain at the time of diagnosis. I have to say I didn't really think too much of the joint pain because he doesn't walk well due to one of the previous chemotherapy drugs he had - Vincristine. He usually has a couple bruises here and there since he is a 2 year old. His walking was greatly affected from one of the drugs in his first chemo cocktail so he trips and falls pretty often. But the bruising he had was more than usual - he bruised at the slightest bump. That's when we really knew something was wrong and took him to the doctor again. Once he was diagnosed (through blood tests looking for certain markers) we found out that his spleen and liver were enlarged - also symptoms of leukemia. Due to the extent of enlargement of his spleen, he had it removed after a round of chemotherapy. So far he has had 3 strong doses of chemo, a round of consolidation chemo, and he's currently on his second round of consolidation chemotherapy and he's labeled as being in remission! He still has 4-6 rounds of consolidation chemo left just to make sure all of the cancerous cells are gone.

I hope this helped you out some and I hope nothing but the best for you. If you have any more questions feel free to email me ([email protected]) or IM me (crazycanuckj).  (+ info)

What can cause high platelet blood counts?

---

When all other cbc's like white and red blood cells, etc are normal. Can an abcess on a tooth do it, or infections etc??
Many things can cause a high platelet count (thrombocytosis). Reactive thrombocytosis can by caused by infection, inflammatory disorders like rheumatoid arthritis, blood loss, tissure damage from trauma, medication side effects, spleen problems, cancer and chemo. There are also blood diseases that can cause a high platelet count.

High platelets can also be caused by essential thrombocytosis, which is due to several types of bone marrow diseases.

Here is a site that describes many of the causes and complications of high platelet blood counts:
