Is 105 Platelet Count Normal In Elderly Woman?
Blood platelet count is 105- was 119 6 months ago. 75 years old. female. Average weight and height. Hematologist looked at blood test and said platelets are large- and that that fact explains low count- so no need to worry and no more tests needed. Do you agree?

A normal platelet count ranges from 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per microliter of blood.
U need to do a CBC(complete blood count) blood test and if giant platelets are there then you dont need to worry as many platelets clump together to form giant platelets which is not detected by blood testing machines.
So if your platelet count is 105000 with giant platelets in CBC test report then u are safe.
