What are platlettes?!
Question:
What are platlettes?
MY GRANDAUGHTER HAS PLOW PLATLETTE COUNT .WHAT ARE THESE AND WHAT IS THE CONSEQUENCE?
Answers:
Platelets are irregular-shaped "sticky" bodies in our blood that help it clot. Thrombocytopenia (low platelet count) is often a symptom of another disorder; presumably your granddaughter's physician is pursuing this. For your own information, the Mayo Clinic has a good basic article on thrombocytopenia at http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/thrombo...
