Homeopathy Can Treat Glanzmann Thrombasthenia (GT)

WHAT IS GLANZMANN THROMBASTHENIA?

Your blood contains little cell particles named platelets. At whatever point you are harmed or cut a vein, and draining beginning from that harmed part, then, at that point, these platelets surge towards the spot of injury to quit bleeding. Platelets remain together and convey messages to different platelets to come at the site of injury. 

They structure an attachment at the bleeding point; because of which draining stops quickly. This is the typical strategy of blood thickening. Glanzmann Thrombasthenia is a platelets work problem in which blood doesn’t clump after a cut or injury. This is brought about by an anomaly in the qualities of glycoproteins IIb/IIIa. These qualities are fibrinogen receptors which help to adhere platelets together to quit dying. Because of the shortfall of these fibrinogen receptors, platelets don’t stay together and it turns out to be extremely challenging to prevent draining from a physical issue Site.

 In 1000,000 individuals, 1 individual is having this illness around the world. This illness is found in all kinds of people. Youngsters are analyzed from the get-go throughout everyday life, typically in the initial five years of life. Since in these years they experience extreme draining scenes from gums during getting teeth or losing child’s teeth. A few kids drain often than ordinary after inoculation. They might encounter epistaxis. 

WHAT ARE THE SIGN AND SYMPTOMS OF GLANZMANN THROMBASTHENIA? 

The most normal side effects of Glanzmann thrombasthenia are

 • Bleeding from nose and gums

 • Heavy menstruation in females

 • Excessive bleeding after trauma or surgery

 • Heavy menstruation in women

 • Bleeding from nose or gums 

• Easy bruises 

• Small purple spots on the skin due to capillary damage (petechiae) 

Rare symptoms of GT included the following: 

• Bleeding in the head and brain, that may cause headache, loss of consciousness, drowsiness, and pain in the neck. 

• Bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract may cause bloody vomiting or bloody stools.

 • Bleeding in the joints leaving swelling and immobility of joints. 

WHEN TO VISIT THE DOCTOR?

 If your child bleeds for a long time on slight injury or bleeds from the nose more often, without any cause then visit a doctor. If you see purple spots on your child’s body and If he bleeds a lot after vaccination or upon losing baby teeth, then it’s an emergency condition; you may hurry to visit a doctor.

 WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF GLANZMAN THROMBASTHENIA? 

• Glanzmann thrombasthenia is an autosomal recessive disorder, which means that both parents may carry these abnormal genes but they may not have the disease.

 • Acquired Glanzmann Thrombasthenia is associated with lymphoproliferative and autoimmune diseases, characterized by impaired functions of platelets. Diagnosing Glanzmann’s Disease Your doctor may use the following simple blood tests to help diagnose Glanzmann’s disease: 

• platelet aggregation tests: to see how well your platelets clot

 • complete blood count: to determine the number of blood platelets you have

 • prothrombin time: to determine how long it takes for your blood to clot

 • partial thromboplastin time: another test to see how long it takes for your blood to clot Your doctor may also test some of your close relatives to check if they have Glanzmann’s disease or any of the genes that may contribute to the disorder.

 How Glanzmann Thrombasthenia affects clot retraction? 

Glanzmann’s thrombasthenia (GT) is a genetic platelet surface receptor disorder of GPIIb/IIIa (ITG αIIbβ3), either qualitative or quantitative, which results in faulty platelet aggregation and diminished clot retraction. Spontaneous mucocutaneous bleeding is common and can lead to fatal bleeding episodes. 

HOW WE CAN PREVENT IT? 

You can prevent your next generation from Glanzmann thrombasthenia, for that you need a genetic counselor before you marry. Women with GT should discuss menstrual bleeding and any sort of issues of planned pregnancy with the hematologist or gynecologist.

 WHAT ARE THE RISK FACTORS? 

To quit bleeding, when different estimations don’t work, then, at that point, you need to go for platelets transfusions. Platelets are gotten from 1-2 people. There are hazards for contaminations because of transfusions. Patients might show transfusions reaction making it difficult to continue transfusion. Because of delayed bleeding, you lose a gigantic measure of blood, that causes pallor. Thus, you need to care for your Hb level and general wellbeing if you have Glanzman’s thrombasthenia for better endurance.

 Living with Glanzmann’s Disease: 

Glanzmann’s disease is a long-term disorder with no cure. There are many dangers of continual bleeding such as chronic anemia, neurological or psychiatric problems, and possibly death if enough blood is lost. People with Glanzmann’s have to be very careful when they are injured and bleeding occurs. Women who have the condition may develop iron deficiency anemia during their menstrual cycles. If you begin to bruise easily or bleed for unknown reasons, you should talk with your doctor.

 It may mean the disease is becoming worse or that there’s another underlying condition that your doctor needs to diagnose. Patient education Patients should also be advised to avoid contact sports as well as the use of aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. To mitigate the risk of gingival bleeding, patients should maintain excellent oral hygiene and participate in regular dental visits. Women in particular, due to the consequences of menorrhagia, need monitoring for iron deficiency and should be placed on iron supplementation if necessary. Patients should be HLA typed at diagnosis and monitored for HLA and anti-platelet antibodies regularly. Patients should also be counseled that bleeding from a minor wound, the gingiva, or the nose may be able to be stopped by applying pressure, and/or by taking an oral anti-fibrinolytic, but to seek medical attention if bleeding persists.

 Management of epistaxis

Epistaxis or nasal bleeding is mostly seen as a manifestation in the patients suffering from GT. Sometimes a patient may respond to compression, nasal packings, and anti-fibrinolytic therapy, but these methods don’t work every time. Researchers believe that epistaxis in children can be stopped by the use of anterior and posterior packing and there may not be any need for prothrombotic agents
