A member asked:
My ana hep-2 test came back positive, my platelets are averaging at 52 after transfusion only went up to 66 what could be going on?

Low platelets : Underlying liver disease is a common cause of low platelets. Treatment will be directed to the underlying liver problem. Since the platelets will not last very long in the body we don't transfuse unless there is active bleeding or if levels are really very low.
