Thrombocytopenia
Disease Information
Treatment & Care
Treatment for thrombocytopenia:
Specific treatment for thrombocytopenia will be determined by your baby's physician based on:
- your baby's gestational age, overall health, and medical history
- extent of the disease
- your baby's tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
- expectations for the course of the disease
- your opinion or preference
Treatment will often depend on the cause of the thrombocytopenia. Blood transfusion with platelets may be needed.
