A member asked:
What are the risks associated with platelets that are too high or too low?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Clotting disorder: Too high a platelet count may cause blood clots to form in blood vessels and deprive affected tissue of blood supply. Too low platelet count causes bleeding, usually in skin and mucus membrane, but can result in internal bleeding it the count is too low, i.e., less than 10 k/cmm.
