Thrombocytopenia Treatment typically involves medications although some cases require surgical procedures

 Thrombocytopenia, more commonly known as high blood pressure, is a medical condition in which the arteries carrying oxygen to the heart become blocked. This condition usually occurs when there is an abnormality in the formation of the blood vessels or a severe decline in the levels of calcium in the blood. An ultra-fast heart rhythm is another cause. The blockage of the arteries results in the reduced supply of oxygen to the heart muscles. This causes the heart muscle to work harder than it should, raising the heart's workload and causing it to eventually break down. This condition can progress to a heart attack. It can also lead to sudden death. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, and a decreased sense of taste. 

 

Thrombocytopenia treatment generally involves taking drugs. One class of drugs called nitroglycerin (trade name Ambien), used to treat hypertension, is effective in treating mild cases. Other types of drug therapy include beta-blockers, diuretics, and anticoagulants. Thrombectomy, a procedure in which the clot dissolves, is another option for thrombocytopenia treatment. The Thrombectomy treatment is performed only on people with severe forms of this disease. During this procedure, a balloon-like instrument, called a cannula, is inserted into a blood vessel. Through a thin tube attached to the cannula, the blood is drawn and the hollowed out portion of the cannula is then folded back into itself and sutured closed. A similar procedure, performed by an arthroscopic angioplasty, is called a partial thrombectomy. In addition to these procedures, other surgical procedures may be recommended by an attending surgeon.

Treating thrombosis usually involves removing a part of the thrombus. This part is called the patella, and its removal results in a less severe form of thrombosis than that caused by the total loss of the patella. Removal of the patella can also result in correction of the bone enlargement that is the main cause of thrombosis. In some cases, a surgery called a craniotomy may also be recommended in addition to thrombocytopenia treatment. If the extent of thrombosis is not that severe, and if the symptoms are not severe enough to interfere with daily life, then surgery may not be required. In such cases, some doctors resort to doing nothing at all. They check the blood regularly, and depending on the situation, they will suggest preventive measures and medicines. In more severe instances of thrombosis, they will recommend some form of surgery. In this case, the removal of part of the bone or tissue is the usual approach.

Thrombocytopenia can lead to serious problems if not treated early. Once the condition becomes chronic, it can lead to pulmonary embolism and heart failure. In very rare cases, the drugs and surgery may be sufficient to correct the problem, but in more acute cases, the medicines and the drugs alone are usually not sufficient to treat the condition. The medicines that can be taken to treat this problem include NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines), corticosteroids, and diuretics. Most people who have thrombocytopenia should be under the care of their family physician. This means that they should be under regular surveillance, and regular medical examinations should be arranged. This will ensure that a complete physical examination and a thorough workup have been done, and the cause of the problem has been identified.
