Hi my mother has lupis, and she was just called by her Dr, he told her she needs to speak with her specialist in Boston because her blood platelet count is very low. Why do you think this is? Im not sure how low her count actually is at the moment but the nurse said it was very important for her to get in touch with her Dr. Right away. What are the main causes for low platelets in a person with lupis?
It's the hematological involvement in lupus, its mainly because of antiplatelet antibodies. It's an emergency and you should see your doctor.
