A member asked:

What are some ways to speed up a platelet donation? i give every two weeks and many people finish faster than me. can i speed up the process?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Normal platelet...: ...Counts are from 150 to 450 k, so it is possible that someone has 3 times more platelets than you but both of you are normal.
