What Does Platelet Count Of 95 Indicate?

hi, I had a cbc and my blood work was normal except for a platelet count of 95...I was tested years ago and had bone marrow test, which resulted in very large platelets so my count was lower, however, never under 129. should I be worried and should I see a hematologist.....thank you

Hi there, above report are suggestive of Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), if someones platelets are above 1 lac with ITP then there no need to worry or consult haematologist, In ITP platelet count decreases because of autoimmunity of body so chances of bleeding increases and no treatment is required if platelets are above 50000 and there is no bleeding, one need to see haematologist only if there is active bleeding, rashes or very low platelets( less then 50000) otherwise one can lead a normal healthy life with ITP
