Hello and welcome to HCM,
High ESR of 60 can be due to any chronic inflammation in body.
Low platelet count is due to either increased destruction of platelets or decreased production.
Thus, complete platelet assessment and bone marrow examination has to be done to know the cause of low platelets.
Thanks and take care
