The light under the platelet.
Platelets are important in the human blood system. Platelet concentration is the amount of platelets in a measured volume of blood.
A platelet in Biology is part of one's blood system. Platelets are utilized in order to essentially repair damage to the vascular system or any other damaged part.

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.

Never the game does not come out for any system under that name
platelet count
Yes, My platelet count was 421 thousand before my splenectomy. One week after removal it was at 2.1 million. Two weeks after my platelet count was at 2.4. My doctors are hoping that it will come down on it's own, but as it looks right now I will have to be on medication to reduce my platelet count. They are expecting it to always be at an elevated level, but they did not expect such high numbers.
What is the Platelet Count Test?
Low platelet count, also known as thrombocytopenia, can lead to excessive bleeding and difficulty in blood clotting. It can result from conditions such as immune system disorders, viral infections, certain medications, and bone marrow disorders. Adequate treatment may involve addressing the underlying cause, medications to stimulate platelet production, or platelet transfusions in severe cases.
No, a hyperactive spleen does not directly cause platelet deficiency. Platelet deficiency is typically due to decreased platelet production in the bone marrow or increased platelet destruction in the body, such as in immune thrombocytopenia. However, a splenic disorder or enlargement can sometimes lead to increased platelet destruction and contribute to low platelet levels.
