Platelet refactoriness

Hi ppl,

I wanted to know that after how many transfusion does the platelet becomes refactory, i mean there is no response even after transfusion of platelet ?

My father is severely platelet defficient, he requires arnd 1 unit asperisis ( from cell seprator nachine from a donor) in a week. Are there ppl who are this dependent on platelets here ?


Kind regards,

Neel
