In addition to red and white cells in the blood, there are also platelets. The word platelets are actually derived from the plate. They play the role of policeman of the body. These protectors of blood come to this place and accumulate like a plate. They send signals to the brain that more platelets come here and thus all of them accumulate and stop the bleeding.
They range from 1.5 million to 4.5 million in the blood of a normal human being.
Nowadays, dengue is a common disease. Even in dengue, it is the last stage when their quantity is reduced to a few thousand. Bleeding starts at this stage, which can lead to the death of a slave.

According to medical experts, the absence or extreme deficiency of platelets causes human blood to accumulate in the brain, which can lead to many complications and possibly blood leakage from the body and their lack of brain haemorrhage. According to experts, the number of platelets in a healthy human body is between one and a half million to four and a half million and the bone marrow is formed automatically as needed.
Some experts believe that if the number of platelets in a person goes up to 25,000 or sometimes even 10,000, there is no problem. However, if their number falls below 10,000, there is a risk of bleeding from the human body. And may begin to bleed from the nose.
Lack of platelets can lead to the spread of certain infections, kidney disease, damage to the body's immune system and drug reactions, and can lead to severe weakness in humans.
To find out the number of platelets in the human body, a blood test called 'Complete Blood Count' (CBC) has to be done which costs from Rs.400 to Rs.1000 from normal laboratories in Pakistan. The number of platelets is known, but the test also reveals other types of particles, including red and white particles in human blood.
