What is thrombocytopenia? If the number of platelets is very low, it is called thrombocytopenia (thrombocytopenia). When there are too few platelets in the blood, hemostasis is impaired and bleeding is prolonged and more frequent. In some cases, bleeding can occur in the body without an injury. Thrombocytopenia: Causes A low platelet count can result … Thrombocytopenia: What it means
What are petechiae? Petechiae are small punctiform bleedings that can occur in all organs. Typically, petechiae become noticeable when they are in the skin. Petechiae cannot be pushed away, unlike other punctiform changes in the skin. If you press the petechiae with a glass spatula, they do not disappear, as they are bleedings and not … Causes of petechiae
Introduction Mono-Embolex® is a so-called anticoagulant, i.e. a drug that inhibits blood coagulation (anticoagulant) and is thus used primarily for the prophylaxis and therapy of venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. The active ingredient of the preparation Mono-Embolex® is certoparin sodium. The active ingredient Certoparin belongs to the class of low molecular weight (=fractionated) heparins. These … Mono-Embolex
Fields of application Low molecular weight heparins such as the active ingredient certoparin in Mono-Embolex® are suitable for thrombosis prophylaxis and thrombosis therapy. Thrombosis is a disease that occurs in the blood vessels. A blood clot is formed via the coagulation cascade, which closes the blood vessel. Often thromboses are localized in the veins and … Fields of application | Mono-Embolex
Therapy monitoring In contrast to a standard heparin, the fluctuations of the drug level in the body are significantly lower with low-molecular-weight heparin. For this reason, therapy monitoring is usually not absolutely necessary. Exceptions are patients who have an increased risk of bleeding and/or patients who suffer from renal insufficiency. In such cases, the determination … Therapy monitoring | Mono-Embolex
Pregnancy and lactation There is a lot of experience regarding the use of low molecular weight heparins in pregnancy. In the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, no harmful effect on the embryo could be observed when using Mono-Embolex®. This finding is based on approximately 2,800 observed pregnancies under Certoparin therapy. Mono-Embolex® does not appear to … Pregnancy and lactation | Mono-Embolex
What is chloramphenicol? Chloramphenicol is an active substance used to combat severe bacterial infections and thus belongs to the group of antibiotics. It is believed to interfere with the bacteria‘s protein synthesis, i.e. the production of proteins essential for survival. Chloramphenicol is therefore a bactericide. Better known trade names for chloramphenicol are Chloramsaar and Paraxin. … Chloramphenicol
Each person has between 150,000 and 450,000 platelets (thrombocytes) per microliter of blood. Platelets play an important role in our body, especially for blood clotting. When the level of platelets falls below 150,000, we speak of thrombocytopenia (thrombocytopenia). The term thus describes a deficiency of blood platelets. The opposite of thrombocytopenia is called thrombocytosis. Function … What is Thrombocytopenia?
May-Hegglin anomaly is an inherited abnormality of leukocytes that is one of the MYH9-associated disorders and is associated with a point mutation. The inherited disorder is associated with a deficiency of platelets and an abnormal platelet shape. Patients with the abnormality therefore suffer from mild bleeding tendencies. What is a May-Hegglin anomaly? The group of … May-Hegglin Anomaly: Causes, Symptoms & Treatment
Introduction Thrombocytopenia describes a clinical picture in which the number of thrombocytes (blood platelets) in the blood is reduced. The causes can roughly be divided into two categories. Either there is a disorder in the bone marrow, so that the formation of thrombocytes is reduced, or there is an increased breakdown, which is associated with … Causes of thrombocytopenia
Thrombocytopenia, the lack of platelets in the blood, can result from a variety of causes. Thrombocytopenia often occurs only in a weak form that does not require treatment, because the body can usually regulate the deficiency itself. The different types of thrombocytopenia have different symptoms and treatment options. What is thrombocytopenia? Thrombocytopenia refers to an … Thrombocytopenia: Causes, Symptoms & Treatment
Introduction Leukemias, i.e. cancers of the white blood cells, are among the most common cancers in children, with the subtype ALL (acute lymphatic leukemia) being by far the most common. The disease usually manifests itself through anemia, an increased tendency to bleed and an increased tendency to infection. The diagnosis is usually made by a … Leukemia in children
