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.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I recently got my blood report, and it shows that my platelet count is 100,000. However, I am currently feeling completely normal. I am a bit confused and concerned about what this low platelet count could mean.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

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