Hello and welcome to HCM,
Th interpretation of blood report is as follows:
The red blood cell picture and white blood cell picture is within normal limits.
However, there is decrease in number of platelets and the platelets are large sized as seen on the peripheral smear.
Low platelets can be due to decreased production of platelets or increased destruction of platelets.
An assessment of bone marrow may be required to know the cause of low platelets.
Consult your doctor for further work up.
Thanks and take care
