What is Platelet Count ?

A Platelet Count measures the number of platelets in a patient's blood. Platelets, also known as thrombocytes, play a vital role in blood clotting and wound healing. Low or high platelet counts can indicate various medical conditions, making this test a key component in diagnosing disorders such as thrombocytopenia (low platelets) or thrombocytosis (high platelets).

Platelet Count Report Format: Breakdown

The Platelet Count report is often part of a Complete Blood Count (CBC). The report format of Platelet Count usually follows this structure:

Header Information:

  • Patient Details: Full name, Age, Gender, and ID.
  • TAT information: Timestamp for both sample collection and report generation.
  • Doctor's Information: Name of the referral doctor, if applicable.

Test Results Section:

  • Patient's results

    As obvious as it is, a test report should definitely have the patient's test result.

  • Result's Unit

    The unit of the test result must be mentioned correctly in the report. Platelet Count test is generally reported in “lakhs/cumm”

  • Platelet Count Normal Value / Reference Range

    The report must have the normal Platelet Count range. It can differ slightly based on the reagents used by the lab and other internal factors, but common Platelet Count ranges are:

    For any gender, 0 to 100 year of age: 1.5 - 4.1 lakhs/cumm

Interpretations

Nowadays, most labs prefer to add interpretations to the reports, making the report more patient-friendly. Labsmart software has interpretations of all routine test pre-filled in the software.

Footer Section:

  • Certifications:

    Display any relevant accreditations (e.g., NABL, ISO), adding to your lab's credibility.

  • Pathologist and technician signature:

    It's mandatory to add a Pathologist and technician signature to the report.

Platelet Count Interpretation

In Labsmart software, this is the inbuilt interpretation for Platelet Count

Physiological basis 
 Platelets are released from megakaryocytes in bone marrow and are important for normal hemostasis. An estimated platelet count may be obtained from blood smear by multiplying the number of platelets per 100 × oil immersion field by 10,000.

Increased in: 

Decreased in:

Myeloproliferative disorders (polycythemia vera, chronic myeloid leukemia, essential thrombocythemia, myelofibrosis), some myelodysplastic disorders, acute blood loss, postsplenectomy, pre-eclampsia, reactive thrombocytosis secondary to inflammatory disorders, infection, tissue injury, iron deficiency, malignancies.

Bone marrow suppression or replacement/infiltration, myelodysplasia, chemotherapy, drugs, alcohol, infection (eg, HIV), congenital marrow failure (eg, Fanconi anemia), Increased destruction or excessive pooling: hypersplenism, DIC, TTP, platelet antibodies (ITP), drugs (eg, quinidine, cephalosporins, clopidogrel)


Comments 
 Platelet counts are determined in patients with suspected bleeding disorders, purpura or petechiae, leukemia/lymphoma, or DIC, and in patients on chemotherapy, and to determine the response to platelet transfusions. There is little tendency to bleed until the platelet count falls below 0.2Lakhs/cumm. Bleeding due to low platelet counts typically presents as petechiae, epistaxis, and gingival bleeding. For invasive procedures, platelet counts > 0.5 Lakhs/cumm are desirable.

All inbuilt interpretations in the Labsmart pathology software is made in consultation with a doctor and is © copyright of Labsmart Healthcare Technologies.

Importance of adding interpretation to reports:

It's very helpful to add interpretation in reports as it makes the reports more patient friendly and also helpful to doctors in some cases. Moreover, presently most labs prefer providing reports with interpretation. Thus, adding interpretation to report will help your lab stay at par with other competitor labs.

Labsmart pathalogy software is a very good platform. I have been using this software after using multiple pathalogy software’s many of them are costly and difficult to understand but Labsmart software is very easy to understand, it's sms feature , sharing pdf and storing database of patients are the best functions of the software. It is a very cost-friendly and less complicated than other software.
