Denisse González begins her fifth hospital stay this year

Denisse González begins her fifth hospital stay this year

Denisse González is in hospital for the fifth time this year as doctors work to find a treatment that controls her condition.

The former Gran Hermano contestant shared the news on social media and said she expects to go home in a few days.

Her repeated hospital stays began in July, after a routine check found her platelet count was extremely low.

Platelets help blood clot, and González has described her immune system as mistakenly destroying them.

Her count has risen with treatment but later fallen sharply, leading to further admissions and tests.

Doctors are still trying to stabilize the autoimmune condition, and she says the search for the right treatment has been long.

González says the current stay should be followed by a return home, but the sources do not say what treatment comes next.

I went in for routine check-ups and they ended up finding that my platelets were very low, so they admitted me to start treatment and do many tests while they look for the cause.
