Is 130 a low platelet count?

Is 130 a low platelet count?

A normal platelet count in adults ranges from 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per microliter of blood. A platelet count of less than 150,000 platelets per microliter is lower than normal. If your blood platelet count falls below normal, you have thrombocytopenia.

Is 150 a low platelet count?

A low platelet count is below 150,000 (150 × 109/L). If your platelet count is below 50,000 (50 × 109/L), your risk for bleeding is higher. Even every day activities can cause bleeding. A lower-than-normal platelet count is called thrombocytopenia.

Does platelet count decrease with age?

Platelet count remains relatively stable during middle age (25–60 years old) but falls in old age (60+), decreasing by approximately 8 %, or 20,000 platelets/μl, between 50- and 59-year-old subjects and those over 70 years old (Segal and Moliterno 2006).

What is a normal platelet count for a child?

An increase in platelet count is not an unusual occurrence in young children. A normal platelet level ranges between 150,000 to 450,000 for every microliter of blood.

What is the normal neutrophil count for a child?

The absolute neutrophil count (ANC) is the total number of neutrophils (segmented neutrophils plus band forms of neutrophils) your child has to fight a bacterial or fungal infection. A normal ANC is greater than 1,500.

What causes high platelet count in children?

One of the several causes for higher platelet count in children is inflammation. Platelets are also known as “acute phase reactants”, which means that they rise in number whenever there is inflammation (like an infection).

What are high platelets a sign of?

While high platelet count can be due to underlying infection, it may also be a sign of a serious bone marrow disorder such as thrombocythemia or primary thrombocytosis, according to the Mayo Clinic.
