A low platelet count is associated with cirrhosis. The platelets are sequestered in the spleen and the bone marrow may not be producing them as well as they would normally. A count in the low teens is very low and if you are not being seen by a gastroenterologist or a hepatologist you should do so ASAP. That low of a platelet count presents a risk of bleeding so do seek medical advice soon.
