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.

Mild platelet variation is common. ESR 8 is within normal limits. Monitor with periodic CBC and ESR to check trends. Please take the test regularly.

What are platelets?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

At what level of platelet count do we have to worry?

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?
