What diseases can high platelet count lead to?

Our children's bodies are relatively weaker than those of adults, and their ability to resist diseases is limited, so we need to take our children for regular physical examinations and treat any diseases in a timely manner if they are discovered. So what diseases will occur if a child has high platelet count? We need to have a good understanding of this issue. Let’s take a look below.

1. High platelet count can be caused by many situations. For normal people, the platelet count generally fluctuates by 6%-10% a day. It is lower in the morning and slightly higher in the afternoon. It is lower in spring and slightly higher in winter. It is higher in plateau areas, increases after menstruation, and increases after exercise. Pathological myeloproliferative diseases, essential thrombocythemia, acute hemolysis, acute suppurative infection

2. Thrombocytosis: When >400x109/L, it is thrombocytosis. Primary thrombocytosis is common in myeloproliferative diseases, such as chronic myeloid leukemia, polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, etc.; reactive thrombocytosis is common in patients with acute and chronic inflammation, iron deficiency anemia and cancer. This type of increase generally does not exceed 500×109/L. The situation improves after treatment and the platelet count will quickly drop to normal levels.

3. If necessary, a bone marrow biopsy can be done to see if there are any problems with bone marrow hematopoiesis. The root cause of this disease is the defect of human immune mechanism and the imbalance of immune system.

4. Western medicine can generally alleviate the condition to a certain extent, but it cannot cure the root cause, and it has great toxic side effects. Long-term use of hormones and other drugs will also affect the normal growth and development of children.

5. This disease can be cured mainly through Chinese herbal medicine conditioning, but Chinese medicine is available all over the country, but each Chinese medicine expert has a different treatment plan, and the treatment effect and prognosis that can be achieved are also different. The Chinese medicine treatment plan is very important.

If the platelet count is slightly high, it is possible that the monitoring instrument is within the normal test error and no special treatment is required. However, if the platelet count is too high, you will need to complete a bone marrow biopsy and JAK2 gene test to determine the cause. At the same time, we need to be alert to certain secondary factors such as chronic blood loss, hemolysis, iron deficiency, chronic inflammation, etc., which may also cause the disease. High platelet count in infants and young children is generally considered normal and is more common in normal children. It can also be seen in upper respiratory tract infections, indigestion, etc. and generally does not require treatment. If there is a severe increase in blood pressure, consider diseases such as acute and chronic inflammation, iron deficiency anemia, etc.

There are many diseases that can be caused by high platelet count in children, and they are all relatively serious diseases. Therefore, we must pay more attention to the physical changes of our children in life. If the child is not feeling well, then take the child to the hospital for examination in time. Only in this way can we ensure the health of our children.
