No, a low platelet count reduces the body's ability to stop bleeding.

Take a ISLET CELL ANTIBODY Test or Take a ALLERGY, MILK Test

What happens if platelet count falls to 40,000?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My mother has started developing patches on her skin since the last couple of days, and they are increasing day by day with itching. Yesterday we did a blood report which shows WBC 11,800 and platelets 486,000. Please suggest?
