Hi, platelets are meant to clot so nothing to worry about there. Also, you have a low normal amount so also no extra risk of clots. You shouldn't have a bleeding problem unless your platelets drop quite low...well below normal.. Having said this, the presence of large platelets indicate that something is wrong. It could be something as simple as having had a virus that knocked your platelet count down and to compensate your bone marrow is throwing out young immature larger cells to make up the numbers.
1 The normal platelet count is 150,000-350,000 per microliter of blood, but since platelets are so small, they make up just a tiny fraction of the blood volume. 2  The principal function of platelets is to prevent bleeding.3  Red. 4  are the most numerous blood cell, about 5,000,000 per microliter.isorders of Platelet Number: Too Few Platelets. Disorders with low platelet counts are called thrombocytopenias, a term derived from an old name for platelets, âthrombocytesâ. This name describes the platelets as the cells (âcytesâ is a word for cell) that contribute to thrombosis, or blood clotting.
