Cause #6: Chemotherapy Medications

Medications that are given to patients with cancer can lead to thrombocytopenia. Thrombopoietin is the hormone that regulates the production of platelets. The medication that is used to treat thrombocytopenia is a recombinant of thrombopoietin and it positively affects the production of the platelets. It is a complication that needs to be treated, as it may prevent physicians from prescribing a higher dosage or increased frequency of medications that in some cases are necessary in the fight against cancer.
