Lower platelets count

My father's age is 65. As a routine check-up, we've done a CBC, and his platelet count is 85,000/μL. Remaining reports are normal. He's not showing any symptoms currently. What should we do? Is this a cause for concern? Please find an attached report for your reference.

Hello this is Dr Ishu Parashar. Probably due to viral infection, like dengue. If no fever or viral symptoms present then we mat think of nutritional deficiencies. Might resolve on it's own

Low platelets can be temporary due to viral infection, lack of vit. B12 or folate  some antibiotic, anti inflammatory drugs. Get another test done after 3 days. Consult a physician physically for better clinical evaluation.

Before coming to the cause, I need a little more detail. If it's associated with fever then it's highly possible that it's a viral infection like dengue. But if fever is not there and there is no other sign of infection then we might have to think about some blood disorders like ITP or it could be an early sign of liver failure as the liver is the main source of hormone thrombopoetin which helps in the generation of platelets.
Next Steps
FIRST REPEAT CBC after few days. if it still shows low platelet then Get USG abdomen done (to see the size of Liver and spleen),  get SGPT and serum billirubin done to see whether there is any liver damage or not. if everything is normal then we can do bone marrow biopsy to check for underlying blood disorder like ITP.
