is it advisable to take hydroxyurea for thrombocythemia?
hello doctor,
i am 25 years old. i have been diagnosed with essential thrombocythemia. the reasons are elevated platelet count (about 700,000 to 900,000 platelets per microliter of blood), positive jak2 v617f mutation analysis, etc. there are different opinions coming from doctors in my country. avoiding details, some advice me to take hydroxyurea, some say that hydroxyurea is unacceptable for guys of my age because of hard side effects and advise me to take interferon alpha. some say that i should not take any medicines and exclude disaggregates and i should just monitor platelets count to be lower than 1,000,000 and some other indicators. kindly advise.
hello,
welcome to icliniq.com.
i can understand your situation through which you are going. i have reviewed your query and below is my advice for your case. usually, in case of essential thrombocythemia, there is no need to undergo treatment with hydroxyurea in all case of et. it is myeloproliferative neoplasm and the chance of acute myeloid leukemia is less in such case. in young age group people usually there is no need for starting hydroxyurea. you need to check your blood pressure, sugar level and cholesterol value to decide further regarding treatment. it is advisable to maintain a healthy lifestyle and take more green leafy vegetables. regular exercise advisable in such case to prevent clot formation. the smoking should be avoided strictly. in such high platelet count to reduce clot formation in the blood, you may need to given aspirin in a low dose which you are taking. you can continue aspirin and maintain a healthylifestyle with active exercise.

Hello Rose,



Blood donation is the act of giving blood to other people or certain institutions voluntarily. The requirements to become a blood donor are:

Thus the explanation from me, may be useful. that is what the data suggests. "the tamsulosin cohort had a higher incident risk of dementia compared with both the no medication group and the alternative medication group." this was from a study of medicare data of over 250,000 men who were 65 or older. ref: https://www.practiceupdate.com/content/dementia-risk-associated-with-tamsulosin-in-benign-prostatic-hyperplasia/71451 see more... would advise an exam by your doctor to be sure. see more... it would be best to see your gynaecologist about the discharge rather than treating it when you don&#39;t know what&#39;s wrong. canesten only treats thrush.<br><br>best wishes both alcohol and blood thinners like warfarin (coumadin) thin your blood. taking both together could compound the anticoagulant effect and increase your risk of bleeding. alcohol might also slow down the rate at which your body breaks down and removes the blood-thinning drug. both products can affect your kidneys. use either up to 3,000mg of tylenol or 1500 mg/day of naproxyn (naprosyn) sodium ( aleve). 7-10 days is a good beginning duration and have your pcp do blood and urine testing to check your kidney function. see more...
