<s>[INST] 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." [/INST] Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Giant platelet are the larger size platelet.  They are metabolically and enzymatically more active.  However, it increases the risk of myocardial infarction.  It promotes the clot formation. So you should consult hematologist and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health. </s>
