Hello and welcome to HCM,
Low platelets are caused due to two causes:
1. Increased destruction of platelets on peripheral blood or precursors of platelets in bone marrow.
2. Decreased production of platelets in bone marrow.
A complete hemogram, peripheral blood smear and bone marrow examination are required to know the cause of low platelet counts.
Treatment can be planned after investigations.
Thanks and take care
