Platelet Count details

What Platelet Count shows

Platelets are small cell fragments that circulate in your blood and are essential for forming clots to stop bleeding when a blood vessel is injured. This test counts your platelets as part of a complete blood count (CBC). Low platelets (thrombocytopenia) can increase bleeding and bruising risk and can result from certain medications, autoimmune conditions, infections, or bone marrow problems; high platelets (thrombocytosis) can occur with inflammation, iron deficiency, infection, or, less commonly, a bone marrow disorder, and in some situations can raise clotting risk.
