[|Human|] I recently had a cbc test and everything came back normal except for my platelets which is 138. Normal is 140. Ive taken previous cbc test and they all came back normal before, but now...this time, everything is normal except for the slightly low platelet count which I mentioned above. Im scheduled to have surgery within a matter of weeks and Im afraid that everything will be cancelled because of it. Am I just being paranoid or are my fears justified?
[|AI|]  Sometimes there are minor variation can come in platelet counts, which may be because of machine variation, physiological variation in body, inter person variation in lab. So do not worry take other CBC after a week or so. Even with this low count 138 there is no need to cancel surgery this much low is acceptable for surgery. But even final decision is with surgeon because, there are other parameters also which have to calculate like bleeding time, clotting time, etc. THX
