About Platelets:

Platelets (thrombocytes) are cell fragments that help your blood clot. They stick together to form plugs at injury sites to stop bleeding.

20-50 K/µLModerate Low

50-150 K/µLMild Low

Understanding Platelet Count

Platelets (thrombocytes) are small cell fragments produced by megakaryocytes in bone marrow. They play a crucial role in hemostasis (stopping bleeding) by forming the initial plug at sites of blood vessel injury.

A normal platelet count is 150,000-400,000 per microliter. Too few platelets (thrombocytopenia) increases bleeding risk, while too many (thrombocytosis) can increase clotting risk.

Causes of Abnormal Platelet Count

Low Platelets (Thrombocytopenia)

• Bone marrow disorders
• Chemotherapy/radiation
• Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP)
• Viral infections
• Liver disease/splenomegaly
• Pregnancy (gestational)
• Medications (heparin, others)

High Platelets (Thrombocytosis)

• Reactive (infection, inflammation)
• Iron deficiency anemia
• Post-splenectomy
• Essential thrombocythemia
• Other myeloproliferative disorders
• Chronic inflammation
• Cancer

Signs of Platelet Problems

Low Platelet Symptoms

• Easy bruising
• Petechiae (tiny red spots)
• Prolonged bleeding from cuts
• Nosebleeds
• Bleeding gums
• Heavy menstrual periods

High Platelet Concerns

• Often no symptoms
• Headaches
• Dizziness
• Blood clots (DVT, PE)
• Stroke or heart attack risk
• Paradoxical bleeding if very high
