About test
What does PLATELET COUNT measure?
A platelet count measures the number of platelets in the blood. Platelets are blood cells that help form clots and limit bleeding after an injury. This test may be used as part of a routine blood evaluation or to help assess unusual bleeding, bruising, clotting concerns, or changes related to certain health conditions or medicines. Results are interpreted alongside symptoms, medical history, and other laboratory findings.
