Would Low Platelet Count Be The Result Of Cyoanatic Heart Disease?
My son was born with a hole in his heart, when he was three I was told that it had healed on its own, However since then he has been plaqued by a low platelet count resulting in abnormal bleeding. He has seen three hemotologists and they do not have an answer. Is it possible that the hole in his heart did not heal properly and that his low platelet count could be the result of cyoanatic heart disease?

Hi, generally cynotic heart disease after healing doesn't affect platelet count. so you need to search for other cause of low platelet count. you should go for bone marrow examination once.and all other test for low platelet count. then only we can find the cause. Go for it.
