Platelet Count Test

A Platelet Count test is a blood test that measures the number of platelets in a person’s blood. Platelets are small cells that help the blood to clot, and are important in preventing bleeding.

 

Pre-test preparation:

No special preparation is usually required for this test.

Testing method:

A small sample of blood is taken from a vein in the arm using a needle and syringe.

The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis.

Common Symptoms for prescribing this test:

  • Bruising easily

  • Heavy or prolonged bleeding from cuts

  • Blood in the urine or stool

  • Nosebleeds

  • Petechiae, which are small red or purple spots on the skin

  • Excessive menstrual bleeding

Diagnosis:

The Platelet Count test is used to help diagnose and monitor platelet disorders, such as thrombocytopenia (low platelet count) and thrombocytosis (high platelet count), as well as to monitor the effectiveness of treatment for these conditions

Reference range:

The reference range for a Platelet Count test varies depending on the laboratory that performs the test.

Typically, the normal range for a Platelet Count test is 150,000-450,000/mcL.

However, it is important to note that the reference range can vary depending on the lab that performed the test and the patient’s age, sex, and overall health.

Normal values:

Normal values for a Platelet Count test vary depending on the lab that performed the test, but typically fall within the range of 150,000-450,000/mcL.

It is important to consult with a doctor or healthcare professional for any questions or concerns regarding the Platelet Count test or any other medical test.
