Platelet count blood test: Normal, low, and high v

A person’s platelet levels change with age and can alter due to acute injury, medication changes, and deficiencies.

However, excessively high or low platelet levels can indicate the presence of an underlying health condition, infection, or injury.

It is generally not possible, however, to diagnose a medical condition based on platelet count alone. People should talk with a doctor about further testing if a blood test reveals low platelets.

It is advisable to inform the doctor about any other symptoms, which can help narrow down testing options.
