Frequently referred to as thrombocytes, platelets are a type of blood cell that helps the blood to clot.
How do I reduce the platelet count and is there is any serious illness? If a platelet and another blood cell pass through the counter at the same time, the instrument will not count the larger cell because of the size exclusion limits, which will cause the instrument to accidentally miss the platelet.
