Question: Low platelet count, normal white count, hemochromatosis.?
why low platelet count.?Health Question & Answer
Answers:
From everything that I've read, there is no direct link between hemochromatosis and low platelet counts; just not enough data to support a conclusion..
However, I do find it interesting that your brother also suffers from the same symptoms; it could be something genetic that runs in the family..
ITP or ideopathicthrombocytopenia purpura is a condition where the total platelet count is low, but there is no cause to be found..
The other things your physician might check is your liver, spleen and bone marrow; to make sure all those organs are healthy.. Any or all of them can have a direct impact on the platelet count.. Good luck!
