What Are the Dangers of Large Platelets?
Reference value: 100-300 * 109 / L.
Large platelet ratio
Right!- Large platelet ratio (P-LCR) is the percentage of large platelets in the blood. Platelets are disc-shaped, ranging in diameter from 1 to 4 microns to 7 to 8 microns, and vary widely from individual to individual (5 to 12 cubic microns). Because platelets can move and deform, they appear polymorphic when observed by general methods. In general, the large platelet ratio is high, and the probability of bleeding and thrombosis is increased. If the above indicators are normal, the blood coagulation function is normal. There should be no major problems and no drug treatment is required. Usually pay attention to diet, eat less high-sugar, high-fat greasy foods, try to eat a light diet, use more fresh vegetables and fruits, black fungus and so on.

- Reasons for the high level The large platelet level alone is not of clinical significance and needs to be combined with other test results. Acute blood loss, hemolytic anemia after splenectomy, polycythemia vera, and chronic myelogenous leukemia can all cause large platelet elevations.
- The low cause may be caused by hypersplenism, regenerative anemia, radiation sickness, diffuse intravascular coagulation, acute leukemia, immune or idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, and certain drugs. Need to cooperate with other inspections to judge.
- Low results possible diseases:
- Aplastic anemia, radiation sickness
- High results may be disease:
- Hemolytic anemia, acute hemorrhagic anemia, secondary erythrocytosis
- Before the examination, listen to the doctor's arrangement.
- Subjects collected blood from the veins and separated the serum in time to measure. Appropriate platelets are taken and then tested.
- 1. Patients who have taken contraceptives, thyroid hormones, steroid hormones and other drugs, because they may affect the test results, are not allowed to be checked in patients with recent drug history.
- 2. Special diseases: Patients with diseases with reduced hematopoietic function, such as leukemia, various anemias, myelodysplastic syndromes, etc. Unless the test is essential, try to draw blood as little as possible.
- 1. Subcutaneous hemorrhage: Subcutaneous hemorrhage can be caused by reasons such as pressing time less than 5 minutes or the blood drawing technique is not sufficient.
- 2. Discomfort: Pain, swelling, tenderness, and subcutaneous bruising visible to the naked eye may occur at the puncture site.
- 3. Blood dizziness or dizziness: When blood is drawn, due to emotional tension, fear, reflex, vagus nerve excitement, blood pressure drop, etc., insufficient blood supply to the brain causes dizziness or blood dizziness.
- 4. Risk of infection: If unclean needle puncture is used, there is a risk of infection. [1]
