In a normal adult body, the number of platelets is about 150 to 400 x 109 per liter of blood. This is equivalent to 150,000/mm3 to 400,000/mm3. * For 5 liters of blood, the total would be 7.5 x 1011 to 2.0 x 1012 platelets.
The average human body produces about 1 x 1011 platelets each day.
(* sometimes expressed as "1.5 lakhs" (lacs), based on the Hindu number for 100,000)
it varies. Anything below 150K is considered low. However, people can live without spontaneous bleeding with platelet counts as low as around 10K. There are minimum counts that are needed for certain procedures and this depends on how invasive the procedure is. For instance, something like a joint injection is ok to do at lower levels of platelets than say, open abdominal surgery.

>Platelets are commonly known as thrombocytes. >They are responsible for blood clotting process. >Therefore, platelets are inevitable. >Normally, the platelet count should be more than 1.5 lacs in an average human. >The platelet count 100, described in this question is very low as compared to normal count. >This may result even in the death of a person.
1 unit prp increases platelet count by 10,000.
A normal platelet count is 150,000 to 450,000 per microliter of circulating blood.
In a hematology test, PLT stands for platelet count. Platelets are small cell fragments in the blood that help with clotting and preventing excessive bleeding. Abnormal platelet counts can indicate various medical conditions such as thrombocytopenia (low platelet count) or thrombocytosis (high platelet count).
