What causes the number of blood platelets to be considered low?

Answer by  djoek (122)

There are a lot of different things that can cause this. Either your body does not make enough platelets, you use too many of them or they are broken down. Platelets are low if your bone marrow isn't functioning properly, if you are bleeding heavily or if there is something wrong with them that causes breakdown.

low platelet count usually shows the non stopping blood when an wound happened. It is likely to be known as decreasing rate of thrombocytes. It may due to the problem in Spleen also. Better to consult a Physician. Platelet usually helps us in clotting of blood when a wound happened.
