Having a high or low platelet count is abnormal and can be very harmful to anyone, let alone pregnant women in their sixties. Many expectant mothers experience elevated platelet counts after pregnancy, which can easily lead to bleeding disorders in pregnant women and pose a certain threat to childbirth. Next, let's take a closer look at the impact of high platelet count in pregnant women on the fetus.
The reference range for platelet count is 100 × 109 to 300 × 109/L. The platelet count can have physiological changes and be influenced by food composition. The daily variation in normal individuals can vary by 6% to 10%, and it is higher in winter than in other seasons; Exercise can promote an increase in platelet count, so athletes and heavy laborers have relatively higher platelet counts in their blood, and high-altitude residents have higher platelet counts; Women experience a decrease during menstruation and gradually increase after menstruation; Collecting venous blood has about 10% more platelets than collecting capillary blood. If platelets increase or decrease sharply, exceeding or falling below the reference range, there may be a certain disease present. Usually, diseases such as myeloproliferative disorders, acute infections, and tumors can cause an increase in platelets. Factors such as aplastic anemia, myelofibrosis, acute leukemia, and radiation injury can cause thrombocytopenia.
There is also a disease whose etiology is not fully understood - primary thrombocytopenic purpura, which is a common bleeding disease in children and women. Patients have low platelet levels, are prone to develop cyanotic spots on their bodies, have bleeding on their skin and mucous membranes, and are also prone to nosebleeds. So, if a child has unexplained bruises or bleeding, parents must take it seriously and not easily think that it is caused by the child's mischievousness. They should seek medical attention in a timely manner and undergo platelet count testing to clarify the cause and receive targeted treatment.
The above is the encyclopedia introduction about the impact of high platelet count in pregnant women on the fetus. I hope this can be helpful to everyone, and I also hope that pregnant women and patients can take good care of their illnesses, avoid eating spicy food in daily life, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, enhance their immunity, and give birth to healthy babies.
