What is PLATELET COUNT?

The Platelet Count test measures the number of platelets in your blood. Platelets are tiny blood cells that help your blood clot and stop bleeding. This test is a common part of a complete blood count.

Why is this test important?

Abnormal platelet counts, either too high or too low, can indicate various underlying health conditions. It helps diagnose bleeding disorders, bone marrow issues, or monitor the effects of certain medications, ensuring proper blood clotting function.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
