Have you noticed that you bleed excessively and uncontrollably when you get an injury or cut? This could happen due to a platelet disorder!
Platelets, also referred to as thrombocytes, are a category of blood cells originating in the person's bone marrow. The primary responsibility of platelets is to stop excessive bleeding by creating blood clots.
There can be two kinds of platelets disorder:
- One, wherein your body produces deficient levels of platelets. This condition is known as thrombocytopenia. This can leave you exposed to severe bleeding, both internal and external. If the case of thrombocytopenia is mild, you might not require any treatment. But blood or platelets transfusion might be necessary if it's a severe issue.
- Two, wherein the body produces an excessive number of platelets. This can also put you at risk of too many blood clots. In cases where the cause behind excessive production is not known, the condition is called thrombocythemia and is relatively rare. If there are no apparent, individuals might not require treatment. Otherwise, specific procedures or medicines might help to regulate platelet production might help. If the cause for high platelets is known, it's called thrombocytosis, wherein the treatment depends on the cause.
In some cases, platelets don't function as they are supposed to. For instance, the platelets may not attach to blood vessels or stick together due to von Willebrand's Disease. This can lead to extreme bleeding. The treatment for this disease is dependent on the specific type diagnosed.
Another set of issues could be related to symptoms such as excessive bruising, superficial bleeding, bleeding gums, nosebleeds, blood in stools and urine, and fatigue (signs of thrombocytopenia). Furthermore, frequent headaches, chest pain, numbness in limbs, and weakness (symptoms of thrombocytosis) also require medical attention. In either case, the doctor will likely run a basic CBC test first.
A complete blood count or CBC test usually forms part of the routine health checkup. It helps to detect different blood disorders and conditions, such as platelets disorder, anaemia, leukaemia, etc.
This test measures different components of the blood, including:
- Red blood cells
- Haemoglobin
- Hematocrit
- White blood cells
- Platelets
If any of these components are found in odd numbers, it can point towards a particular disorder, which may require further testing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What diseases can CBC help to detect?
CBC can help to detect various conditions that include anemia of various etiologies, autoimmune disorders, bone marrow disorders, dehydration, infections, inflammation, hemoglobin abnormalities, leukemia, low platelets, lymphoma, myeloproliferative neoplasms, myelodysplastic syndrome, sickle cell disease, thalassemia, and cancer that has spread to bone marrow.
What other tests can be advised by the doctor if CBC results are not normal?
The other tests which can be advised entirely depend on the suspected condition or disease. In the case of abnormal WBC results, the culture of the affected area is advised such as blood culture, urine culture, and sputum culture. Tests for viruses like mononucleosis or EBV can be advised. In case inflammation is suspected, a CRP or ESR test may be advised. In the case of abnormal RBC results, the other test advised can include reticulocyte count, iron studies, tests for folate and vitamin B12, Glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase test, or hemoglobinopathy evaluation. In the case of abnormal platelet count, the other test advised can be HIT antibody. Also, additional tests that can be advised include tests for bleeding disorders or excessive clotting disorders such as coagulation factors, prothrombin time, partial thromboplastin time, or von Willebrand factor.
How is the blood sample taken?
To take the blood sample, a tourniquet (elastic) band is placed tightly on the upper arm. The patient is asked to make a fist. This helps in the buildup of blood filling the veins and it becomes easy to collect the blood. The skin is cleaned before inserting the needle in the vein in order to prevent bacteria from entering. The needle is then inserted into the vein in the arm and the blood sample is collected in the vacutainer.
What is meant by MCV?
MCV refers to the mean corpuscular volume. It depicts the measurement of the average size of red blood cells.
What is meant by MCH?
MCH refers to Mean corpuscular hemoglobin. It depicts the measurement of the average amount of hemoglobin inside red blood cells.
What is meant by MCHC?
MCHC refers to Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration. It depicts the average concentration of hemoglobin inside red blood cells.
What factors can affect hemoglobins level?
The factors which can affect hemoglobins level include recent blood transfusion and pregnancy.
What other tests can be advised along with the hemoglobin test?
The other tests which can be advised along with hemoglobin test depend upon the cause which needs to be diagnosed. The other tests include CBC, blood smear, iron studies, reticulocyte count, vitamin B12 and folate levels, and bone marrow examination.
Which individuals are at risk of low hemoglobin levels?
The individuals which are at risk of low hemoglobin levels include women of childbearing age, nutritional deficiencies, people who underwent surgery, people who have been severely injured, kidney disease, cancer, HIV/AIDS, inflammatory bowel disease, chronic infection, or chronic inflammatory disorders.
What are the signs of abnormally low hemoglobin levels?
The signs of abnormally low hemoglobin levels include fatigue, pale skin, fainting, and shortness of breath.
What is Leukocytosis?
When the total number of leucocyte count is higher than the normal range, it is known as leukocytosis.
What is Leukopenia?
When the total number of leucocyte count is lower than the normal range, it is known as leukopenia.
What is Leukemia?
Leukemia is the cancer of the blood in which malignant white blood cells multiply inside the bone marrow. It can be acute or chronic.
What is Lymphoma?
Lymphoma is cancer of the blood that occurs in the lymphatic system of the body. The white blood cells in lymphoma change and grow beyond control. The two types of lymphoma are Hodgkins and Non Hodgkins lymphoma.
Should I inform my doctor if I am taking any medicines?
Yes, please inform your doctor if you are taking any medicines or supplements as it might interfere with the test results.
What is hematocrit?
Hematocrit is a measurement of the percentage of red blood cells in your blood.
What is anaemia?
Anaemia is a condition in which the haemoglobin concentration and the number of red blood cells fall below the normal level. Our CBC blood test price has been kept at a minimum for you to get your haemoglobin level checked at regular intervals.
What is anaemia and how is it detected?
Anaemia is a blood disorder wherein a person lacks the necessary red blood cells to carry oxygen throughout the body. Low haemoglobin causes weakness and tiredness. There are many kinds of anaemia, such as aplastic, iron deficiency, sickle cell anaemia, and thalassemia. It can be detected in a CBC test.
What are the symptoms of anaemia?
Some of the early warning symptoms of anemia include: Weakness, Fatigue, Irregular heartbeats, Yellowish or pale skin, Breathlessness, Lightheadedness or dizziness, Cold feet and hands, Chest pain, Headaches These symptoms may not be very apparent initially but may worsen with time.
What causes low platelets?
Low platelet count is also known as thrombocytopenia. It can cause purple and red rashes, bleeding gums, nosebleeds, bruises, heavy menstrual bleeding, prolonged bleeding from wounds, etc. There are many reasons behind the low count of platelets, such as bone marrow conditions (such as aplastic anaemia, viral infections, cirrhosis, myelodysplasia, vitamin deficiencies, etc.), platelet destruction (due to pregnancy, enlarged spleen, autoimmune disorders, bacterial infections, surgery, etc.), etc.
