Re: LEFT upper quadrant painFrom: Glen Elrod (dr99645@yahoo.com)Tue Feb 5 15:16:09 2008
I've read that because platelets are reactive, that stress can cause an increase. My thought regarding that was the postpartum hemorrhage with transfusion would be the cause, but then again I have no baseline to compare it to. I think I'll send her to internal medicine before her Medicaid runs out! Glen
>----- Original Message ---- When it comes to surgical causes of thromcocytosis it almost always turns out to be retroperitoneal hemotomas IMHO, I almost never have to drain these, its not unusal for them to take six months to resolve. Hypersplenism is often preceded by years of thrombocytosis before the platlets crater out.

Take care, John

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
