It may be caused by a blood disorder, and it is difficult to determine what is wrong with the body simply by relying on the elevated or decreased platelet count.
First of all, a rising and falling platelet count may be a result of a disease, such as leukemia, hypersplenism, aplastic anemia, infection, etc. However, the diagnosis of these diseases cannot be confirmed by a single platelet test, and it is necessary to go to the hospital for a detailed examination to confirm the final diagnosis based on the test results. The results of these tests will determine what the problem is.
The rise and fall of platelets may be due to blood disorders or other causes, and there are many tests that need to be done, such as blood smears, reticulocyte tests, bone marrow aspiration tests, and other tests if necessary, according to the doctor’s recommendation. The results of these tests are compared to each other to determine what is wrong with the platelets.
