How to treat leucocyte low of radiotherapy patient
summary
White blood cell is an indispensable and important cell of human body. It is the defense force of human body and can directly eliminate the invading microorganisms. In general, white blood cells will rise when exogenous pathogens invade, which is the normal response of the body, indicating the body's ability to mobilize the immune system to defend against invasion. If the white blood cells in the body decrease and lose the "defense line" of white blood cells, it will not be able to resist the external pathogenic factors, and it is very easy to cause infection, such as oral ulcer and sepsis. How to treat leucopenia of radiotherapy patients.
How to treat leucocyte low of radiotherapy patient
First, radiotherapy and chemotherapy should not be used as a double-edged sword. The main purpose of using radiotherapy and chemotherapy drugs is to eliminate tumor cells. However, it is a pity that they are "friends and foes alike" and inevitably have toxic effects on normal cells. Therefore, in most cases, radiotherapy and chemotherapy will cause a series of injuries, including leukopenia, as well as thrombocytopenia, organ damage and so on. Due to the initial onset of cancer, a very small number of patients have strong resistance, high hematopoietic capacity of bone marrow and transient leukopenia.
Second: the treatment of leukopenia, white blood cell count below 4x10 ^ 9 / L, for leukopenia, can be manifested as fatigue, sleepiness, etc. Because the level of leukocyte is closely related to the prognosis of the disease, doctors and patients always pay attention to this index.
Third: before radiotherapy and chemotherapy, we mainly increase the "strategic reserve" by TCM syndrome differentiation and diet conditioning. In this period, the application of tonic agents was emphasized, such as Astragalus, ginseng, donkey hide gelatin, polygonatum and so on; In the diet, supplement more polysaccharides, such as Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide thin brand capsules, strengthen nutrition, eat more liver, lean meat, bean products and spinach and other raw blood food.
matters needing attention
One is to prevent excessive chemoradiotherapy; Second, we should pay attention to protection in life. The biggest hidden danger of leucopenia is infection, so avoid eating raw and cold food to avoid digestive system infection, do not go to public places to avoid respiratory tract infection, to control the visits of relatives and friends, daily should pay attention to rest.
