A member asked:

What does a platelet count of 13 mean? should i be concerned?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Low platelets: It depends on the unit but in the United States this would typically mean 13,000 platelets per microliter which is very low and is associated with a very high risk of bleeding. There are many causes but this needs to be evaluated and treated urgently as this would be considered a medical emergency if the cause is not known.
