Why is the platelet count high in pregnant women?

High platelet count is a more common symptom, which can cause great harm to people, especially to pregnant women, as it can easily cause hemorrhagic diseases in pregnant women. So what disease is high platelet count in pregnant women? The main cause of this disease is related to the environment that patients are exposed to on a daily basis. We must pay attention to good nursing care. Let us learn about it in detail.

The reference range of platelet count is 100×109～300×109/L. The number of platelets can undergo physiological changes and is affected by food ingredients. In a normal person, the change can vary by 6% to 10% within a day, and is higher in winter than in other seasons. Exercise can increase the number of platelets, so the number of platelets in the blood of athletes and people who do heavy manual labor is relatively high, and the number of platelets in mountainous residents is relatively high. The number of platelets in women decreases during menstruation and gradually increases after menstruation. The number of platelets in venous blood is about 10% more than that in capillary blood.

If the platelet count increases or decreases dramatically, exceeding or falling below the reference range, a disease may be present. Usually myeloproliferative diseases, acute infections, tumors and other diseases can cause an increase in platelets. Factors such as aplastic anemia, myelofibrosis, acute leukemia, and radiation damage can cause thrombocytopenia.

There is also a disease whose cause is not yet fully understood - idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, which is a common hemorrhagic disease in children and women. Patients have very low platelet levels, are prone to cyanosis, bleeding skin and mucous membranes, and nosebleeds. Therefore, if a child has unexplained bruises or bleeding, parents must pay attention to it and never assume that it is caused by the child's mischief. They must seek medical attention in time and conduct a platelet count test to determine the cause and provide symptomatic treatment.

I also hope that pregnant patients can do a good job of disease care, avoid eating spicy foods in daily life, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and enhance their own immunity in order to give birth to healthy babies.
