Dear Sir/Madam,
I understand your concern regarding the variation in platelet counts between different labs. Such differences are quite common and can occur due to several factors, including:
Possible Reasons for Discrepancy in Platelet Counts:
Sample Handling & Processing Methods â Different labs use different machines and techniques, leading to variations
Giant Platelets Detection â Some machines may count giant platelets incorrectly, leading to an underestimation
EDTA-Induced Platelet Clumping â In some cases, platelets clump together in the tube, giving a falsely low count
Natural Fluctuations â Platelet levels can vary throughout the day due to hydration, stress, or minor infections
Which Report Should You Trust?
Lal Path Lab has been consistent with your previous reports (always around 78Kâ90K), which suggests a stable trend
Apollo's lower count (60K) might be due to lab-specific variations or sample-related issues
If you are not experiencing symptoms like unusual bleeding, bruising, or fatigue, it is less concerning
What Should You Do Next?
Repeat the platelet count in 3â5 days from the same lab where you usually test (Lal Path Lab) to confirm trends
Ask for a Peripheral Blood Smear (PBS) Test â This manually counts platelets and can clarify the giant platelet issue
If platelets continue to drop, seek medical evaluation to rule out any underlying causes
