A member asked:
My platelets have dropped from 148 to 131 in 3 months, will check in 6 weeks again, could this be serious?

Maybe.: Maybe not. Generally the first thing is to measure values over time to establish a trend. If thee is no trend it is not likely to be serious. Generally all non necessary medications are stopped and some simple labs are obtained to ensure stability of other cell lines.
