What Are The Effects Of Super Platelets?
I have a low platelet count (89 - 112), but do not have bleeding problems. I was told I have what is called "super platelets." They are 4 times the normal size. Are there any advantages or disadvantages to this hereditary condition? My mother and son also have "super platelets."

However it increase the risk of myocardial infarction. It promote the clot formation. so you should consult haematologist and take treatment accordingly.
