A platelet count of 9,000/mm3

<h3>Describe:</h3>

Bleeding and infection are two AML complications that are the main killers. Level and duration of platelet shortage are related to the likelihood of bleeding (thrombocytopenia). Ecchymoses and petechiae can be caused by a low platelet count. Major bleeding may also occur when the platelet count falls to under 10,000/mm3.

<h3>Describe platelet:</h3>

Megakaryocytes, very big cells found in the bone marrow, are the building blocks of platelets. They aid in the formation of blood clots that help wounds heal and to slow or stop bleeding. There may be issues if there are either too many or too few platelets, or if the platelets aren't functioning properly.
