Hello,
The person was prescribed labs for platelets. I would like to know the main causes of thrombocytopenia! Also, in a case of leukemia, there would not be just an abnormality of platelets, but other elements such as white blood cells and other, right? Thanks in advance!

There are a very large number of causes for the decrease of blood platelets. Bleeding, a diseased liver or spleen, pregnancy, infection, medications, natural health products, alcohol, nutrient deficiency, etc.

Bone marrow diseases can of course cause this problem, but a normal platelet abnormality can also explain a momentarily abnormal lab.

It is best to discuss the result with your doctor or pharmacist, who will be able to judge the possible cause of the lab.
