Question

What happens if blood platelets are absent in blood?

Answer 1

The blood platelets are required for the process of blood clotting. Whenever there is an injury, to prevent the loss of blood it is necessary to form a clot. The vitamin K, clotting factors, calcium ions and the platelets are necessary agents for the formation of a blood clot. If there are no platelets, there will be no clot formation. This might result in haemorrhage in which there is continuous blood loss.
