What is a Blood test?

Blood tests are an essential diagnostic tool. Blood is made up of different kinds of cells and contains other compounds, including various salts and certain proteins etc. Blood tests shows details about these Blood cells and, Blood compounds, salts and proteins

The liquid portion of the tested Blood is plasma. When our Blood clots outside the body, the Blood cells and some of the proteins in Blood turn into a solid. The remaining is serum, which can be used in chemical tests and in other Blood tests to find out how the immune system fights illness. Doctors take Blood samples and grow the organisms, found in Blood tests, that cause illness, to evaluate each, microscopically.

Platelet testing is a test that is often used by doctors. First let us define platelets. Theys are very small cells in the Blood. These clump together at places where injury to Blood vessels occur. They are the basis of the Blood clot that normally forms when the skin is broken.

A Blood test revealing a low platelet count can make us vulnerable to bleeding, sometimes even without an injury that we see. Some of the causes of a low Blood platelet count include autoimmune illness, where the effected individual produces an antibody to his or her own platelets, chemotherapy, leukemia, viral infections and some medicines. High numbers of platelets make an individual more vulnerable to Blood clotting. High Blood platelet counts are always found where a condition involving bone marrow such as leukemia, cancer and other Blood borne conditions that are revealed by Blood test results.
