[|Human|] My grandson is in the hospital for low platele count he has be transfused twice and they keep dropping. His mother suffered from IUGR during the pregency, she basically did not eat or drindk fluids for a long period of time and stopped going to the doctor, could this be a complicaiton of her not taking care of herself during the pregency? And what can be done for my grandson?
[|AI|]  After going through the history, am of the opinion that low platelets in your grandson is not related to antenatal history of not Chat Doctor.  Low platelets requiring transfusion may be because platelets are being destroyed by the antibodies which is called immune thrombocytopenia, or it could have been acquired thrombocytopenia. You have not given sufficient information regarding the nature of illness in your grandson for which he is having transfusion. Will be glad to help if there are clinical details. Regards
