A member asked:
In a cbc, what does it mean if it says giant platelets: present?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends on your H: Giant platelets means there is a larger proportion of young(freshly made) platelets. It is a finding sometimes seen in people who have low platelet counts due to conditions like ITP. Do you have any health problems such as your platelet count? Please give us this bit of information in order for us to be able to help you with your question.
