Platelets are tiny blood cells that help your body form clots to stop bleeding. If one of your blood vessels gets damaged, it sends out signals that are picked up by platelets. The platelets then rush to the site of damage and form a plug, or clot, to repair the damage.
Function
A normal platelet count is 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per microliter of blood.
Risk for spontaneous bleeding develops if a platelet count falls below 10,000 to 20,000. But when the platelet count is less than 50,000, bleeding is likely to be more serious if an individual is cut or bruised.
Some people make too many platelets and can have platelet counts from 500,000 to more than 1 million.
