I started to be obsessive about low platelet count. I saw in some scientific papers that low platelet count (like less than 150-160) is a sign of cirrhosis or early cirrhosis. My platelet count history is as follows: October 29 2012: 193 (there was hemolysis in this test and hence may not be accurate!) April 22 2013: 161 March 14 2014: 172 May 26 2014: 148 September 12 2014: 147 September 20 2014: 170 My ultrsound for liver and spleen 2 weeks ago was normal. Do I worry unnecessarily? Since I do not have older tests I do knot know my previous values. I have NAFLD or NASH and I am 35 years old. I was overwihjt in last 4-5 years (with a maximum BMI: 28.2 during that period) . My liver enzymes are normal in last 8 months. What do you think from platelet count?
