A person's platelet levels can change with age, and certain medical conditions can also affect them. A platelet count that is fluctuating needs to be reported.

Dr. Yusuf Suggests...

Take a APOLIPOPROTEIN EVALUATION PANEL WITH LIPOPROTEIN A Test or Take a Apollo Senior Citizen Health Check Advance - Female Test
