A member asked:
Low platelets past few years. as low as 80,000, but mainly hovers between 100-130. when would it need to be looked further into?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Now: Not urgently, but I would recommend seeing a specialist for any of my patients. We Immunologists think of drug reactions, issues related to enlargement of the spleen or maybe the production of antibodies (autoimmune) against platelets. Potential causes are many and it worth a work-up
