What Causes Low Blood Platelets?

My stepsons daughter was just born, she has the horseshoe kidney anomaly and low blood platelets, the Dr. said that he thinks it is Turner syndrome, but she doesn't physically have the symptoms of that, I have read many disorders via the web, and I'm wondering how long it will take a lab to diagnose a chomosome disorder and I am wondering if the low platelets could just be due to the kidney anomaly? I am afraid they are jumping to conclusions and are terrifying the parents. Please help...

Hi, she may have turner syndrom but pletelets has no any relation with horseshoe kidney. Platelet count is low in many cases in the neonate. It the common condition. Don't worry regarding that. However go for the diagnosis of chromosomal abnormality. Consult youe doctor and diagnose that.and then take treatment accordingly. No need to worry.
