What is the Platelet Count Test?
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.
platelet distribution width (PDW)an indication of variation in platelet size which can be a sign of active platelet release.
Blood type AB is the universal donor for platelets and plasma. Blood types A and B are also universal donors for platelets. Blood type O is the universal donor for red blood cells/whole blood. Platelet concentrate is given to patients who have clotting problems or with thrombocytopenia, and commonly used for leukemia/cancer treatments and bone marrow transplants.
If the platelet clumps are large enough, an automated blood analyzer may mistake them for WBCs, causing a falsely high WBC count. The platelet count will be decreased if there is a lot of clumping.
