Platelet Transfusion
About the procedure
Platelet transfusion is a treatment used to increase platelet levels in patients with thrombocytopenia (low platelet count) or platelet dysfunction. Platelets are essential for blood clotting and preventing excessive bleeding. Transfusions are carefully matched and administered under close medical supervision to ensure safety. This therapy helps reduce bleeding risk in patients undergoing chemotherapy, bone marrow disorders, or those with severe infections affecting platelet production.
