HYDERABAD: Healthcare specialists treating Covid-19 sufferers have shown they have identified several instances wherein blood platelet count has been reduced. Experts predominantly stated it had been a complication caused by Covid-19 and sometimes, was a preexisting issue. Assistant professor at department of internal medicine at University of Nebraska’s Medical Centre Department, Dr Buddharaju Laxmi Narayana, clarified that a good deal of patients experienced chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) predating their own Covid-19 disease and this has been brought to focus through blood tests to Covid-19. ITP is a blood disease wherein there’s a decline in the amount of blood platelets in bloodcirculation. Platelets are blood cells that help to prevent bleeding. Talking in a training organised by the Andhra Pradesh medical division, Dr Buddharaju explained,”We observe additional ITP from Covid patients. Unless somebody has signs of bleeding, then we haven’t transfused platelets. A fantastic response to steroids together with increase in platelet count could be confirmatory of the ITP analysis” Research from the Institute of Hematology and Transfusion Medicine in Kolkata Medical College and Hospital discovered that ITP has surfaced as a key complication originating from Covid-19. In asymptomatic patients, scientists have noted that clinicians need to appear into this aspect from the post-recovery phase. “ITP and TTP (thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura) are mostly post-Covid associated (problems ). Blood platelets fall because of resistance difficulties. We’ve found it in many instances. Until the platelet count is falling beneath 75,000, then we aren’t fixing it. In the majority of the circumstances, it’s self-lifting and also reversable,” explained Dr Galla Viswanath in the AIG Hospitals.
