Bleeding and Clotting Disorders |
Low platelets06/15/2007 |
I have thrombocytophenia with platelets count decreasing as much as 20,000-30,000 a month. Blood tests have shown positive signs of antibodies in my blood. What can be the diagnosis?
It is very difficult to say what your diagnosis may be with just that limited information, but on the surface it sounds as though it may be consistent with immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). I cannot tell if you are saying that your platelet count is dropping to 20-30,000 or if it is dropping by 20-30,000 each month.
If your platelet count is near 20-30,000 you need to make sure that you are seen by a hematologist or internist that is familiar with ITP.
