A: Platelets are part of how our body forms clots to stop bleeding. They are produced in the bone marrow by cells called megakaryocytes, and then enter the blood stream. Normal platelet counts are ...

Investigators have identified a platelet count threshold that appears prognostic in patients with ESKD hospitalized in the ICU. Platelet counts above and below a threshold of 222 × 10 9 /L are ...
