Overview

Laboratory Findings

Laboratory tests might include: full blood count (CBC), liver enzymes, renal function, vitamin B12 levels, folic acid levels, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and peripheral blood smear.

On a CBC, platelet count < 150,000 per µm3 is considered as thrombocytopenia. These limits, however, are determined by the 2.5th lower and upper percentile, and a deviation does not necessarily imply any form of disease. The number of platelets in a blood sample also decreases quickly with time and a low platelet count may be caused by a delay between sampling and analysis. pseudothrombocytopenia......
