Platelets

A very low platelet level (<50) might be put you at more risk of bleeding.
Under 150 is Thrombocytopenia

  • Thrombocytopenia
    • Thrombocytopenia (pronounced “THROM-bo-sigh-toe-PEE-ne-ah”) occurs when your bone marrow doesn’t make enough platelets.
  • serotonin
    • Blood clotting: platelets in your blood store serotonin. When your body needs to repair damage, platelets release serotonin to help stop bleeding and heal wounds.
