A member asked:

Can fatty liver cause low platelet?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Seek another cause: Fatty liver is extremely common, and if your platelets are low, the workup needs to continue. Liver disease will only drop the platelets (low thrombpoietin, hypersplenism) when it gets very much more advanced.
