Low levels of platelets in turn may lead to prolonged or excessive bleeding. It is the most common coagulation disorder among intensive care patients and is seen in a fifth of medical patients and a third of surgical patients. [3] A normal human platelet count ranges from 150,000 to 450,000 platelets/microliter (μL) of blood. [4]
In hematology, thrombocythemia is a condition of high platelet (thrombocyte) count in the blood. Normal count is in the range of 150 × 10 9 to 450 × 10 9 platelets per liter of blood, [1] but investigation is typically only considered if the upper limit exceeds 750 × 10 9 /L.
A normal platelet count is considered to be in the range of 150,000–450,000 per microlitre (μL) of blood for most healthy individuals. Hence one may be considered thrombocytopenic below that range, although the threshold for a diagnosis of ITP is not tied to any specific number.
A complete blood count (CBC), also known as a full blood count (FBC), is a set of medical laboratory tests that provide information about the cells in a person's blood.The CBC indicates the counts of white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets, the concentration of hemoglobin, and the hematocrit (the volume percentage of red blood cells).

If the platelet count is not known then assisted forms of delivery, for example forceps or ventouse, should be avoided to reduce the risk of harm. [19] If the delivery has been planned then antigen negative platelets should be available in case the infant's platelet count is low on a cord blood sample. [19]
I had blood tests done and they indicated that I had low platelet counts. At the time, doctors dismissed the results as being “low but not that low” and said they’d check my numbers again in ...
For example, in patients undergoing surgery, a level below 50×10 9 /L is associated with abnormal surgical bleeding, and regional anaesthetic procedures such as epidurals are avoided for levels below 80×10 9 /L. [68] Platelets may also be transfused when the platelet count is normal but the platelets are dysfunctional, such as when an ...
