Should my Dr be concerned about low platelet count
I got my labwork back, viral load<5, yay
My platelet count which was confirmed on smear is 98 the range is 150-400 k/ul. My Chiro who used to be an emergency room nurse was very concerned with this, said I was more apt to bleed internally or profusely from a minor cut because of my blood not coagulating. I have heard nothing from my specialist about this. Should I be concerned and contact them. She was more concerned about this than my low WBC of 1.6 with a 4.0-10.5 k/l range.
Peace and Health

You are right it was my 4th week, but after my 5th shot. The doc said they wanted to get bloodwork after the 4th shot.
If it was before your 5th shot then it is week 4. When exactly was it. Either way it is great news.
It was actually tx week 5, for some reason they missed tx week 4.
Thanks I guess my hcv team needs to earn my trust still, I still get the redheaded step child feeling.
Yea, actually pulled out a pocket knife opened it up messing around then, put it on the floor and backed away from it.

Most docs who have a lot of experience with treating hcv won't be too alarmed until they start moving to 40, 30, 20's. Don't play with knives.
Congrats to the vl result was this week 4 or week 12 or what.
I dont think platelets 98 is any thing to worry about heard of many how have had 70 or 80 when starting gauf for instance. They go down on interferon i had 124 after 6days started with 193 then the went up again to 173 then down to 145 .
Good luck with remaining tx
