Hi, Ive done the blood test and my platelet count is low. 109,000. Doctor told me I need to speak with the specialist and do some other test to know the reason. Is this count very bad? What could it be? I know one of the reasons can be Iron deficiency. Where can you see the level of iron in a blood test? He told me all the rest is fine though.. Thank you very much
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your platelets count is slightly low. Nothing to worry much about that. Subclinical viral infection or many other infections can lead to low platelets count. Low iron level does not cause low platelets count. Just repeat your platelets count after 3 days. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
