Bacterial and viral infections may lower your platelet levels. Additionally, drinking a lot of alcohol may cause your platelet level to drop

Dr. Shaik Suggests...

Take a Allergy Screen (Includes Total IGE And Phadiatop) Test or Take a HCV Rna Qualitative, Reflex To Quantitative (Viral Load)- Real Time Pcr Test
