A normal platelet count ranges from 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per microliter of blood.
Platelets are made in our bone marrow, the sponge-like tissue inside our bones. Bone marrow contains stem cells that develop into red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
Certain bone-related disorders cause increased platelets in the body which is medically referred to as thrombocytopenia.
A platelet count is a common test that counts the number of platelets in your blood. Platelets are cells that help your blood clot. A low platelet count might be a sign of certain cancers or infections. A high platelet count can put you at risk for harmful blood clots or stroke.
