Low Platelet count level of 138 can cause a number of symptoms.

An abnormal platelet count of 138 may affect your body’s ability to form blood clots, which is vital for stopping bleeding.

Platelets are essential components of the blood that help prevent excessive blood loss and support wound healing. Abnormal platelet counts may occur due to infections, autoimmune diseases, bone marrow disorders, or medication side effects.
