What the function of platelet?

The function of platelets is in clotting. Without them the blood would not clot. They are cell fragments and not cells. They live only 5-9 days. Too many platelets can cause clots that then can travel and cause blockages in vessels. Too few can cause uncontrolled bleeding.

Does low 3800 white blood count indicate leukemia?

NO, just because you have an increased WBC count doesn't mean you have leukemia. There are other things in the blood work that would need to be looked at to say for sure. Things like platelet counts, when the tech did a differental did they see blasts or inmature WBC's. Have you been sick? Fever, sore throat, difficulty breathing, bruising easy? There are a lot of things that need to be looked at before the Dr says if it is or is not leukemia.

spleen is a secondary lymphoid organ. let me explain this in simple word. spleen has abundant macrophages, which can sense abnormalities of red blood cells(RBC) and platelet. abnormal and old RBC and platelet are removed from circulation by spleen. so many conditions in which spleen gets bigger that would remove more platelet even if they are normal, leading to decrease the count of platelet.

Is it abnormal to have 54000 platelets?

Yes it is abnormal. More information: Normal platelet counts for children and adults are between 150,000-400,000 per mm3. For babies, normal limits are 200,000-475,000, and for newborns, normal would be 150,000-300,000 mm3. Platelets are responsible for blood clotting, so a low count count would put the person at risk for uncontrolled bleeding.
