What is the normal amount of platelets in the blood.My husband couldn`t have chemo as his were below 100 so just wondered what they should be .Many Thanks for answers
I do not think you got it wrong as it depends on how they are printed on the form. We used to use the numbers 100 I think it meant 100 000 in reality. Though I cannot remember what the normal amount is.
They do convert down for ease of reporting.... we would get patients on this basis with a platelet count reported as 1 all I can say it had to work pretty hard...
