Low platelets in Chronic liver disease may be due to splenic sequestration, increase destruction or decreased production.
Management of low platelet count in chronic liver disease may involve treating the underlying liver condition and addressing complications such as portal hypertension. This can include medications to reduce portal pressure (e.g., beta-blockers), procedures like transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) to redirect blood flow, and in severe cases, liver transplantation. Additionally, monitoring platelet count and addressing bleeding risks are essential aspects of managing thrombocytopenia in chronic liver disease.
