Some things can affect how well the bone marrow can produce platelets. When not enough platelets are made, the platelet count in your blood is too low. Chemotherapy and some radiation therapy can cause this temporarily. These cancer treatments can slow the production of platelets in the bone marrow. Another cause of a low platelet count is cancer of the bone marrow. Other conditions can result in a low platelet count as well.
Blood cancer, bone marrow issues and vitamin B-12 deficiency can also cause low platelet counts. Typically, a person's platelet levels range between 150,000 and 400,00 per microliter. Thrombocytopenia is diagnosed when a person's levels are lower than 150,000, states WebMD.
