Platelets, also known as thrombocytes, are small cell fragments that play a crucial role in blood clotting and wound healing When you experience a cut or injury, platelets rush to the site to form a clot, helping to stop the bleeding
- Thrombocytopenia (low platelet count) - Symptoms and causes
Overview Thrombocytopenia is low blood platelet count Platelets, also called thrombocytes, are colorless blood cells that help blood clot Platelets stop bleeding by clumping together and forming plugs in blood vessel injuries Thrombocytopenia (throm-boe-sie-toe-PEE-nee-uh) can happen because of conditions or medicines that affect the circulation, production or destruction of blood platelets
