Yes, a low platelet count, known as thrombocytopenia, can affect kidney function indirectly. Platelets are essential for blood clotting, and a significant decrease can lead to bleeding complications, including in the kidneys, which may result in damage or impaired function. Additionally, underlying conditions causing low platelet counts, such as certain autoimmune diseases or infections, can also impact kidney health. Monitoring and addressing the root cause of thrombocytopenia is crucial for maintaining overall kidney function.
