A platelet count of 9,000/mm3

<h3>Describe:</h3>

Bleeding and infection are two AML complications that are the main killers. Level and duration of platelet shortage are related to the likelihood of bleeding (thrombocytopenia). Ecchymoses and petechiae can be caused by a low platelet count. Major bleeding may also occur when the platelet count falls to under 10,000/mm3.

<h3>Describe platelet:</h3>

Megakaryocytes, very big cells found in the bone marrow, are the building blocks of platelets. They aid in the formation of blood clots that help wounds heal and to slow or stop bleeding. There may be issues if there are either too many or too few platelets, or if the platelets aren't functioning properly.

<h3>What is umbilical cord?</h3>
  • During pregnancy, a tube called the umbilical cord joins you to your unborn child.
  • It has three blood vessels: two arteries transfer waste from your baby back to the placenta and one vein carries food and oxygen from the placenta to your baby.
  • Because it transports the baby's blood back and forth between the newborn and the placenta, the cord is sometimes referred to as the "supply line" for the infant.
  • It provides the newborn with nourishment, oxygen, and waste product removal.
  • The umbilical cord begins to grow five weeks after conception.
  • Wharton's jelly, a gelatinous substance primarily formed of mucopolysaccharides that shields the blood vessels inside the umbilical cord, is present there.
