How to increase blood platelets if suffering from hepc n cirohsis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very difficult: If not impossible. The major source of low platelets in patients with cirrhosis is enlargement of the spleen which then eats platelets. The solution to this is reducing splenic consumption and that is inordinately difficult if not impossible. There are other mechanisms by which your platelet counts may have been reduced but these are minor in comparison. Good luck.
