Hello Everyone,
Our daughter was diagnosed in January with ITP. Her hematocrit has always been around 44, over the last few blood draws she's been 35, the latest draw she's 36. Her platelet count is staying pretty consistent at 20,000- 30,000 since she was diagnosed in early January.
My question- Is this common for her hematocrit to go down as well?
She is having a lot of fatigue (which her doctor said is not associated with the ITP). But after reading on here and other sites it seems to be common. She's also experienced some gum bleeding. Were now doing biweekly blood draws because her count is staying consistent. Which were glad, the phlebotomist is having a really hard time finding a vein. She also has Hirschsprung's Disease and I can't find any information on the web if this can play a role with ITP.
Thank You for any help!
