Welcome to Connect, @vicki0063. From my understanding, it can be quite common for patients with cirrhosis of the liver to also have a decrease in platelets.

I found an article that might be helpful for you to read through. It explains the link between liver/spleen damage and low platelet levels.

Since you’re new to the forum, you might find this Digestive health support group helpful with the liver issues. Here are just a couple of the many discussions within the group.

Do you take any medication or have any dietary restrictions with your cirrhosis?
