My patient has hemophilia with a factor VIII assay showing activity at 19.5 before surgery how much cryoprecipitate should we give to manage bleeding risks during the procedure
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For a hemophilia patient with Factor VIII activity at 19.5%, you'd typically give cryoprecipitate to raise levels above 50% pre-surgery. The exact amount depends on weight and procedure type, so consult a hematologist for dosing protocol.

View allMy dad's been dealing with a high fever and chills since a couple of days ago. His platelet count has been fluctuating, it was 41k two days ago, then went up to 47k yesterday, but today it's lowered again to 45k. Tests for Dengue and Malaria came back negative, so I'm worried about what else could be causing this low platelet count. How long do you think it might take for his platelets to go back to normal?
That could be Viral Hemorrhagic fever,get him admitted in hospital,be under observation by a physician once his platelets get improved to 1L you are out of danger, follow your doctor advice.

I'm looking at my platelet count and it's at 120, but the normal range is supposed to be above 150 according to the report I got. Should I be worried about this? Does platelet count change daily, or is it pretty stable? If there's anything I can take over-the-counter to help, what would you recommend? I've attached my report, in case that helps.
A platelet count of 120 is mildly low (mild thrombocytopenia), but not typically serious unless accompanied by other symptoms like bleeding, bruising, or petechiae; platelet counts can fluctuate, but significant changes are unlikely on a daily basis

I've been feeling okay, no fever or injuries, but I'm still a bit concerned. I recently got my blood work done, and my white blood cell count is at 11.8k and platelet count is 11.5 lakh. Not sure if this is something to worry about. What could be causing these numbers to be on the higher side?
