In a hematology test, PLT stands for platelet count. Platelets are small cell fragments in the blood that help with clotting and preventing excessive bleeding. Abnormal platelet counts can indicate various medical conditions such as thrombocytopenia (low platelet count) or thrombocytosis (high platelet count).
No a normal platelet count is at least 150. You have thrombocytopenia. I have a platelet count of 50, but it had been 6! most haemotologists would not treat a platelet count of 50, theyd watch and wait
