Do to bone marrow failure my platelets are checked every few mos. My levels have been somewhat low - 95 as well as my RBC around 3.22 - those are the numbers from Aug. 20/13, but had a retest (always same lab) Sept. 27/13 and they had both jumped: RBC 3.65 and platelets 173!! I would like to know how this can happen with no changes except meds for the first time in my life, for what was a dangerously high BP and long standing tachycardia that brought on a sudden profuse nose bleed a few mos. ago. Had to call 911 for help in stopping the nose bleed - took 2 hrs. Thank you :)
In adults one pack of platelets will increase the platelet count by 10,000/ml (Unless there is no destruction of platelets eg: in immune thrombocytopenia)
Platelet counts can be increased through diet. There are several foods that can increase platelet counts, some of these foods include kale, spinach, and tofu.

1 unit prp increases platelet count by 10,000.
