Platelet distribution width is on the high side? How to do?

summary

There's no big problem with my health. Yesterday, when I went to the hospital to donate platelets for free, the nurse told me that I couldn't donate platelets because my platelet distribution width was on the high side. I didn't understand. So, what should we do if the platelet distribution width is too high?

Platelet distribution width is on the high side? How to do?

First, the platelet distribution width indicates the consistency of platelet volume, and the increase indicates that the span of platelet volume is larger than normal. The main function of platelets is physiological hemostasis. As long as the number and function of platelets are normal, there will be no problem.

Second: the platelet volume is too large, generally speaking does not need treatment, platelet related examination items basically as long as the platelet number is normal, no obvious bleeding performance is OK. Instrument detection of these indicators is based on the size of the tested object to judge, and the volume of platelets is too small, so the detection accuracy is not high.

Third: further to the hospital examination, because it is likely to have blood system or immune system diseases. If you don't feel anything, you can continue to observe and test your blood routine after 1 or 2 months. Check the blood routine again, and return to the Hematology Department of the local hospital. Treatment should be considered only after a definite diagnosis. It may also be a transient abnormal performance under normal circumstances.

Fourth: platelet distribution width is not significant, nor does it mean that the normal count is normal. It also depends on the platelet function, such as: aggregation function, adhesion function, platelet factor 3 and so on. Can observe, you such situation if do not have clinical symptom, general problem is not big. You don't have to go out of your way to eat anything.

Fifthly, there are many reasons for the high platelet distribution width, such as insufficient bone marrow generated platelets, leukemia, aplastic anemia, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, alcoholism, megaloblastic anemia, some bone marrow diseases, etc. Therefore, we need to go to the hospital to check the cause before we can treat the cause.

Sixth: blood routine we generally only look at white blood cells, red blood cells, platelet values, now platelets are low, you can go to the regular hospital hematology comprehensive examination, taking eujiale will also have an impact on platelets. Usually eat more jujube, mulberry, wolfberry, longan and other blood food.

matters needing attention

The high platelet distribution width indicates that the size of platelets is not consistent, the large ones are large and the small ones are small, exceeding a certain degree. Generally, it doesn't matter. Don't worry too much.
