Platelet count is low
by mamax6, Jun 05, 2007 12:00AM
Not sure if this is the right category...but my daughter found out her platelet count is 40,000 and bruises very easily. She is only 12 and I was wondering if Vitamin K will work for her? Doc. said it could be because pre-menstrual causes your platelets to go wacky. HELP! I'm scheduled for an appointment with a Pediatric Hematologist but didn't know how to help her today? Thanks!

Just read your post. I think vitamin K is mostly given to patients' with coagulation problems and I've never heard of giving it to someone with a lot platelet count and especially if your daughter hasn't been diagnosed yet. I would call her physician and speak with her or her about this. I am happy to hear that the doctor is referring your daughter to a Pediatric Hematologist.
