What Do My Lab Test Reports Indicate?
Question: Hi
I am 56 and have IGA nephropathy for the past 7 years which is being treated with Cardace 10 mg, Minipress XL 2.5 mg and Lipitor 10 mg. My latest spot urine test showed Erythrocytes + in the urine, protein + , and RBCs 2-3 hpf. A blood peripheral smear examination was normal for RBC, WBC, Hemoparasite and Immature Cells but stated that Platelets were mildly decreased and I had mild thrombocytopenia. A subsequent blood platelet count showed that the mumber was 100,000 thousand/cu.mm. In past tests in the last 7 years the platelet count has varied from 128,000 to 153,000.
My questions are as follows:
- Is the platelet count a cause for worry at 100,000 thousand/cu.mm ? It appears that my platelet count has generally been below the threshold but never as low as 100,000. There are no symptoms of bleeding or fatigue.
- What homeopathic medication will help improve the platelet count? I have started taking Ferrum Phos 6X
- Would taking calcium tablets help to improve the platelet count? Are there any other foods I can take to improve the count ?
- When should I repeat the platelet count test?
Grateful for your help with these queries as I am a bit anxious.
