A member asked:
Plt count nirmal at 165 but says platelets range in size and some are large and i bruise very easily what could this mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That's fine: Some folks have a few big platelets -- this in itself is never a problem. If you have an actual bleeding tendency, as following oral surgery or minor surgery, a hematologist might work you up but it's unlikely that the few big platelets will be helpful information. Best wishes.
