How To Increase Blood Platelet Count?

let me know how yo make patient better.
HLA matched or single. donor platelets
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for asking.
I am Dr. Prakash HM and I will be answering your query.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows:
1. Single donor platelet transfusion, every two days, three times should be helpful. Each exchange will increase by 10-15000, leading to 50-60000 count within a week. Pooled donor platelets can cause immune reactions due to multiple antibodies, which can cause platelet refractoriness.
2. Still better would be HLA matched platelets.
3. RBC packed cells can be given. For 6.4g%, unless there is any complications, no further transfusion necessary.
4. Nutritional supplements with b12 and folic acid is necessary.
5. Need to watch for any internal bleeding. When the count falls less than 10000, risk increases of internal bleeding.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.

single donor apheresis platelet - best
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for asking again.
Risk of bleeding increases during invasive investigation.
Improvement can be done through evaluation of immune antibodies via lymphocytotoxicity test or platelet antibodies evaluation or even platelet crossmatching. Most of the setup with dedicated transplant unit or transfusion medicine department in all major setups should have this.
If not platelet apheresis from single donor can be used to raise platelet count. Single donor platelet can be collected up to 3 times in a week.
Discuss with your doctor regarding single donor platelet or immune antibodies evaluation.
Hope it helps.
