Is it dangerous that I have only 175,000 platelets?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Hi, my friend, a 30 year old female, has a platelet count of 126,000, with no signs of infection. Is this normal? Should she undergo any additional tests to identify the underlying cause, and if so, which tests are recommended?
