Defecto adquirido de la función plaquetaria - Tratamiento

Nombres alternativos

Trastornos plaquetarios cualitativos adquiridos; Trastornos adquiridos de la función plaquetaria

Tratamiento:

El tratamiento está dirigido a la causa de la anomalía. La diálisis reduce la tendencia al sangrado si la causa es la insuficiencia renal. Es posible que se necesiten transfusiones de plaquetas o tromobocitaféresis (extracción de plaquetas de la sangre y reemplazo por plaquetas donadas) en trastornos de la médula ósea. Las anomalías plaquetarias inducidas por medicamentos requieren la interrupción del medicamento.

Expectativas (pronóstico):

Con el tratamiento de la causa de la anomalía generalmente se corrige el defecto.

Complicaciones:

  • Sangrado prolongado
  • Anemia grave

Situaciones que requieren asistencia médica:

Se debe llamar al médico si:

  • Si se presenta un sangrado sin causa conocida.
  • Si los síntomas empeoran o no mejoran después del tratamiento de un defecto adquirido de la función plaquetaria.
