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

Dr. Shaik Suggests...

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

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Since yesterday, rashes have started all over my body and I also have fever. I vomited once this morning. I consulted a physician and got a blood report which shows platelet count 3.6 lakhs. Should not this be a serious issue?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Is my blood test report normal? My platelet count has been high in some tests and low in the last three values. My ESR is 8. Please explain whether this is normal or a cause for concern.
