It's abnormal (low).
This is medical terminology for a low platelet count condition.
Platelet parameters on PDW being low is indicative of the probability of increased bleeding. When a platelet count is low, a person may be asymptomatic until injury or surgery.
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, it doesn't mean that there is HIV
