Platelets are tiny blood cells that help your body form clots to stop bleeding. If one of your blood vessels gets damaged, it sends out signals that are picked up by platelets. The platelets then rush to the site of damage and form a plug, or clot, to repair the damage.n this condition, your bone marrow makes too many platelets. People with thrombocythemia may have platelet counts that exceed 1 million. Symptoms can include blood clots that form and block blood supply to the brain or the heart. The cause of thrombocythemia is unknown.
Platelet Count. A platelet count is part of a complete blood count test. It is ordered when a patient experiences unexplainable bruises or when small cuts and wounds take longer time to heal. A normal platelet count of an average person is 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per microliter of blood.Others may have abnormal platelet count but it doesnât indicate any abnormality.latelets, red cells, and plasma are the major components that form the human blood. Platelets are irregular shaped molecules with a colorless body and sticky surface that forms into clots to help stop the bleeding. When a personâs normal platelet count is compromised that personâs life might be put in danger.
