What do they look for on Promacta blood test monitoring? was created by GrouchoMarx
Good day and Good year everyone. 
I would like to avoid unnecessary blood test now that Promacta is working fine for over a year.
What do they look for in blood test when they want to check the Promacta medication has on you? I just remember my doctor saying all fine, all fine. My bilirubin a bit high but it didn't concern him much.

What do they look? Which parameter? And how often you need to do the test.

I am not a big fun of blood tests btw

  • ITP since 2014. Retired nurse. My belief is empower patients to be involved as much as possible in their care. Read, read, read & ALWAYS question medics about the evidence base they use.
