Platelet Dysfunction
Treatment of Platelet Dysfunction
Stopping or avoiding drugs that cause bleeding Treating the underlying associated disease, for example, Dialysis for a person with kidney failure Sometimes drugs or platelet transfusion If platelet dysfunction is caused by a drug, stopping the drug usually is the only treatment needed. People with an inherited platelet disorder that causes excessive bleeding usually should not take drugs that impair platelet function. When people with an inherited platelet dysfunction have serious bleeding, they may need a platelet transfusion or a drug calleddesmopressin, which helps decrease bleeding. Bleeding with minor procedures or with menstruation may be prevented by another medication,tranexamic acid, which improves how well the blood clots.
