ThyroidectomyThyroidectomy is the surgical removal of the thyroid gland. This important gland located at the bottom front of the neck, produces thyroid hormone, which regulates the body’s metabolism. A healthy thyroid gland is shaped like a butterfly, with right and left lobes connected by a bridge called the thyroid isthmus. Depending on the reason for thyroidectomy, it will remove all or part of the thyroid gland. The various types of thyroidectomy include:

- Partial thyroid lobectomy (a rare procedure): it removes only part of a thyroid lobe.
- Thyroid lobectomy: remove the entire thyroid lobe.
- Thyroid lobectomy istemctomia: remove the entire thyroid lobe, along with the thyroid isthmus.
- Subtotal thyroidectomy: a thyroid lobe is removed, the isthmus and part of the second lobe.
- Total thyroidectomy: removes the entire thyroid gland. Read more

Thrombocytopenia TreatmentTreatment

Treatment of thrombocytopenia depends on its cause and severity. If your thrombocytopenia is mild and is not caused by significant bleeding, your doctor may decide that you do not need treatment. This is often the standard strategy in children with acute ITP, because 80 to 90% of these children recover with treatment within 6 weeks.

If your thrombocytopenia is induced by drugs, your doctor may prescribe another medicine. Many people with drug-induced thrombocytopenia recover without additional treatment once the medication discontinued.

Patients with profuse bleeding require more aggressive treatments. Treatment options include:
Medications called glucocorticoids that are placed through a vein or by mouth or a medicine called immune globulin that is injected into a vein (intravenously). This is done to treat thrombocytopenia caused by an abnormal immune reaction. Read more

ThrombocytopeniaThrombocytopenia is the abnormally low level of platelets in the blood. Platelets are formed by the bone marrow and help the blood to clot. People with thrombocytopenia may be hemorrhages (bleeding) abundant.

Most people have more than 150,000 platelets per microliter of blood. A person with few platelets have some degree of thrombocytopenia. The risk of bleeding increases as the platelet count decreases, so people with less than 10,000 platelets per microliter of blood has a high risk of heavy bleeding.

Thrombocytopenia can occur alone or may manifest as a complication of another disease such as cancer or viral infection. In some cases, thrombocytopenia is a chronic (long) that lasts for years, while other times, the disease appears suddenly and drastically. Read more
