Where would I get information on low blood platelets?
If for any reason your blood platelet count falls below normal, the condition is called thrombocytopenia. Normally, you have anywhere from 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per microliter of circulating blood. Because each platelet lives only about 10 days, your body continually renews your platelet supply by producing new platelets in your bone marrow.
Regardless of which parent has which blood type, if one parent has type A and one type AB, the child could have either A, B, or AB. If one parent has type B and the other parent type AB, the child could have either A, B, or AB. If both parents have type AB, the child can again have A, B, or AB. And finally if one parent has O and the other parent has AB, the child could have either A or B. It doesn't matter whether the parents blood type is positive or negative for the above examples.

Usually expressed in thousands, a 277 count would be 277K. The normal range is 150K-450K. platelet-count
High counts eligible for a double donation to help others (such as with the Red Cross) would be 300K or higher. 150K-299K would be eligible for a single donation. Yes, you are normal.
Too high a count could mean bone marrow issues (>450K) and too low a count (<150K) could possibly signal a disease since your blood would not clot as fast if you bleed.
If you are in the range, don't worry, be happy. =)
