Platelets, also known as thrombocytes, are blood cells produced by the bone marrow and are responsible for the blood coagulation process, with increased platelet production when bleeding, for example, prevents excessive blood loss. The platelet reference value is between 150, 000 and 450, 000 platelets / μL of blood, however some conditions may interfere with the platelet production process, with increasing or decreasing blood concentrations, which is called thrombocytopenia.
