In my case, statins did not lower the count, but did cause bleeding and extensive petechiae.

What is the Platelet Count Test?
Is a platelet count of 134 with protein in urine normal
Average platelet count for adult is 250,000-450,000
When the platelet count falls to less than 100,000mm3
A MPV count stands for Mean Platelet Volume. A low count during this test may suggest that your platelet count is lower than normal. Some causes to this include viral infections, certain drugs, thrombocytopenia, and some genetic disorders.
In the context of a platelet count, K stands for thousands.
When the platelet count falls to less than 100,000mm3
Is my platelet count too low at 88
1 unit prp increases platelet count by 10,000.
A normal platelet count is 150,000 to 450,000 per microliter of circulating blood.
A low platelet count, called thrombocytopenia, causes the blood to fail to clot easily. A healthy platelet count should be between 150,000 and 450,000 platelets per micro liter of blood. A level lower than 150,000 platelets indicates thrombocytopenia.
