About This Test
A normal platelet count typically ranges from 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per microliter ( ) of blood. Platelets, or thrombocytes, are small blood cells essential for clotting and repairing damaged tissues. A low count (<150,000) is known as thrombocytopenia , causing bleeding risks, while a high count (>450,000) is called thrombocytosis , risking excessive clotting.
Parameters Included (1)
A platelet count testmeasures the number of platelets (thrombocytes) in a specific volume of blood to evaluate clotting ability. Often part of a Complete Blood Count (CBC), it determines if counts are too high or low, aiding in diagnosis of dengue, infections, and bone marrow disorders.
