what does large platelets present mean
Hi, platelets are meant to clot so nothing to worry about there. Also, you have a low normal amount so also no extra risk of clots. You shouldn't have a bleeding problem unless your platelets drop quite low...well below normal.. Having said this, the presence of large platelets indicate that something is wrong. It could be something as simple as having had a virus that knocked your platelet count down and to compensate your bone marrow is throwing out young immature larger cells to make up the numbers.
