Thrombocytopenia

Hematology expert in Kukatpally

Comprehensive Thrombocytopenia Care in Hyderabad

Thrombocytopenia refers to a condition characterized by a low platelet count in the blood, leading to an increased risk of bleeding and bruising. Dr. S. K. Gupta offers comprehensive care for patients with thrombocytopenia, including specialized diagnosis and management of conditions such as immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), drug-induced thrombocytopenia, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), and thrombocytopenia absent radius syndrome (TAR syndrome). With his expertise and dedication to patient care, Dr. Gupta ensures that each patient receives personalized treatment tailored to their specific diagnosis and needs.

Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP):

Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by the destruction of platelets by the body’s immune system, leading to a low platelet count and an increased risk of bleeding. Dr. Gupta specializes in the diagnosis and management of ITP, offering personalized treatment approaches, including medications, immunosuppressive therapy, and splenectomy, to control symptoms and prevent complications.

Drug-Induced Thrombocytopenia:

Drug-induced thrombocytopenia is a condition characterized by a low platelet count caused by exposure to certain medications, leading to an increased risk of bleeding and bruising. Dr. Gupta provides expert care for patients with drug-induced thrombocytopenia, identifying and discontinuing offending medications, managing symptoms, and monitoring platelet levels to ensure optimal recovery and patient safety.

Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP):

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a rare but serious blood disorder characterized by the formation of blood clots in small blood vessels throughout the body, leading to a low platelet count and potential organ damage. Dr. Gupta specializes in the diagnosis and management of TTP, offering timely intervention with plasma exchange therapy, corticosteroids, and immunosuppressive medications to prevent thrombotic complications and improve patient outcomes.

Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS):

Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition characterized by the destruction of red blood cells, low platelet count, and kidney failure, often triggered by bacterial infections or certain medications. Dr. Gupta provides expert care for patients with HUS, offering supportive treatment, including fluid replacement, blood transfusions, and dialysis, to manage symptoms and prevent complications.

Thrombocytopenia Absent Radius Syndrome (TAR Syndrome):

Thrombocytopenia absent radius syndrome (TAR syndrome) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by a low platelet count, skeletal abnormalities, and absence or underdevelopment of the radius bone in the forearm. Dr. Gupta offers specialized care for patients with TAR syndrome, providing comprehensive evaluation, genetic counseling, and supportive management to address symptoms and improve quality of life.

Common symptoms may include easy bruising, nosebleeds, bleeding gums, petechiae (small red or purple spots on the skin), and prolonged bleeding from minor cuts or injuries.

Diagnosis typically involves a combination of blood tests, including a complete blood count (CBC) and peripheral blood smear, to assess platelet count and morphology, as well as additional tests to identify underlying causes of low platelet count.

Treatment options may include medications to increase platelet production, immunosuppressive therapy to suppress immune-mediated platelet destruction, blood transfusions to replace low platelet counts, and supportive care to manage symptoms and prevent bleeding complications.
