Your platelet count shows you have thrombocytopenia. You need to see a gastro or hepatologist for further evaluation and to discover the underlying cause of the low platelets. Thrombocytopenia can result from something as serious as leukaemia or from an immune system problem, or as a medication side effect. If the count goes very low you risk spontaneous bleeding.

Sorry to say this, but I think Bolly's reply is unhelpful and you should go back to whoever made the referral for your tests for an explanation of the results and further exploration of that might be the cause. Mike
