Specializes in Internal Medicine

Depends: You may have other reasons that impaired production for low platelets; you could have an overactive spleen (as in cirrhosis or itp), or the platelets may be consumed in circulation. You should be under the care of a hematologist, especially if you have been getting bone marrow biopsies.
