13. Complete Blood Count (CBC)- Platelets
 Platelets (thrombocytes) are necessary for blood 
clotting. 
A normal platelet count is about 130,000-440,000 
cells/mm3. 
Low platelet counts (thrombocytopenia) -- which can 
lead to easy bruising and excessive bleeding -- may 
be caused by certain drugs, autoimmune reactions, 
accelerated destruction by the spleen, or certain 
immune diseases.
