Is Platelet Count Value Of 75000 A Cause For Concern?
Question: Low platelet count = 75,000. How is this treated? Does chemotherapy treatment cause this to happen?
Brief Answer:
No need for treatment
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
No treatment is given when platelet count is 75000. If cause is not persisting or serious enough, the platelet count will soon return to normal. Aim will be at removing or reducing the causative factor.
Yes, chemotherapy can cause low platelet count.
Treatment of low platelet count is considered when the count is below 40000, where injection dexamethasone is given. When the platelet count is less than 20000, platelet transfusion is necessary.
Hope, I answered your query.
Wish you good health.
