What is the Platelet Count test?
Platelet Count, PLT and Thrombocyte Count: The Same Test
Your report may say platelet count, PLT or thrombocyte count. MedlinePlus lists all of these as names for the same test (MedlinePlus). Platelets are also counted as part of a full CBC test, so if you have a recent CBC report, your platelet count is already on it.
What the Test Measures
| What is measured | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Platelet count | How many platelets are in one microliter of blood |
Platelet Count Normal Range
MedlinePlus gives the normal platelet count as 150,000 to 400,000 platelets per microliter of blood, and notes that ranges vary slightly between labs (MedlinePlus). Always read your result against the range printed on your report.
What Low and High Platelets Mean
| Result | What it can point to |
|---|---|
| Low (thrombocytopenia) | Viral infections, autoimmune disease, liver cirrhosis, low vitamin B12, some blood cancers, mild drop in pregnancy |
| High (thrombocytosis) | Anaemia, infection, inflammation such as rheumatoid arthritis, severe blood loss, some cancers |
These are possibilities, not a diagnosis (MedlinePlus). A low count can make you bleed more after a cut, and a high count can make blood clot more than needed. One result outside the range confirms nothing on its own, so show your report to a doctor.
Who Should Get Tested and When
- You bruise easily, get nosebleeds, or notice tiny red spots on the skin
- Your periods are much heavier or longer than usual
- You have fever with dengue or another viral illness and your doctor wants to watch your platelets
- You are on a medicine that can affect platelets
Seek urgent care for bleeding gums, blood in vomit, urine or stool, or severe stomach pain during a fever.
How to Prepare
No fasting or special preparation is needed for a platelet count (MedlinePlus).
