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).
