Platelets Definition, Function & Normal Range

You may have heard claims that papaya leaf extract can increase platelet counts. I want to be very clear: there is no strong scientific evidence to support this. The available studies are small, poorly designed, and unreliable. More importantly, these supplements are not regulated and can be harmful. They may interact with medications or even cause liver damage. Don’t waste your money or put your health at risk on unproven remedies. Always rely on evidence-based medicine and talk to your doctor

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) aka “fatty liver disease” 1/3 of American adults have MASLD. >1/2 of adults with diabetes have MASLD. Screen for MASLD with labs (ALT, AST and platelets). Sometimes incidentally found on abdominal imaging obtained for other reasons.
