Low Platelet Count after Heart Surgery

2017-08-18 16:44:29
My dad just had a quadruple bypass which was successful. However, he has been in and out of the hospital because his Platelet count is incredibly low (3,000-5,000). The doctors say he has no infection and ran a bunch of tests that came back negative. They can't seem to figure out what is causing the low count. Can you please assist?
