How is a complete blood count measured?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I suffered from body pain, semi liquid loose motion, body weakness, and sometimes fever in the evening. My blood report says that my blood platelets are 1.10 lakhs. Please give your opinion on that?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My lab report shows that on the first day, my platelet count was 1,48,000, and on the next day, it dropped to 1,22,000. I am concerned about what this decrease means?
