My platelets have been very low for the last 16 years. According to the CBC test report of my platelet count is 18000. Please help me find what my problem is?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My platelet count is 125,000/mm (normal range: 150,000 to 400,000). Is this something serious or dangerous? Do I need any treatment? I have attached my report for your review and advice.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Please can someone confirm if this indicates cancer? Recently, I had a very low platelet count of 108,000. I started experiencing bruising on my body and bleeding from gums. I was given medication to increase platelet count. My latest report, done day before yesterday, shows that my platelet count has increased to 533,000. I have attached the report for reference. Could you please advise if there is anything serious in my report and whether there are any indications of cancer?
