What is a Platelet Count Test?
The Platelet Count test is a lab test that measures the number of platelets you have in your blood. Platelets, also known as thrombocytes, are tiny, round cell fragments that circulate in your blood and are essential for the formation of blood clots. A blood clot is a mass of blood that the body forms to stop bleeding. Platelet count is a test that determines the number of platelets in a sample of blood. It can be done as an individual test or can be checked as a part of Complete Blood Count (CBC). Platelets are tiny cells that are required for blood clotting. This test can be used to screen, diagnose, or monitor conditions like bleeding disorders, bone marrow diseases, or other related underlying conditions.
