A member asked:

Platelet count 125000 in 58 year old male.should one be worried?no other symptoms so far.what may be the reason? can it be symptoms of something fatal

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Whoa: This is trivially low And no danger, but while you say he has no other symptoms, you also list jaundice. He does need a work up for hemolysis and possible liver disease.
