platelet transfusions do not succeed in raising the platelet levels for long. Often people need platelet every 12 - 24 hrs if they are not making them on their own. The real issue is why are they not making platelet's and to try and get their body to do so. This is often seen with cancer and thrombocytopenia. The effect of low platelets is a risk of bleeding since platelet are an important clotting factor. Ive never been impressed with platelet transfusions they are not anywhere near as good as what a healthy body does naturally.

In fact, a healthy adult has about 35 trillion of them. The body creates these cells at a rate of about 2.4 million a second, and they each have a life span of about 120 days. Red blood cells are also called erythrocytes.White blood cells, which ward off infection. These cells, which come in many shapes and sizes, are vital to the immune system. When the body is fighting off infection, it makes them in ever-increasing numbers. Still, compared to the number of red blood cells in the body, the number of white blood cells is low. Most healthy adults have about 700 times as many red blood cells as white ones. White blood cells are also called leukocytes.

Well, platelets create a micro fibril when they come in contact with the ruptured vein/capillary walls, this fibril is i guess you can say sticky, from there they build up and create a mesh that in time creates a scab so no more blood is lost.
