What does a high platelet count mean?
Q. I have been donating platelets for three years. My count has always been high (the lowest was around 350,000). Today when I went, my platelet count was 453,000. Platelet donors over 450,000 get deferred from donating again for four weeks. Is my count too high? Does this mean I should get checked out for some kind of disorder? Is it possible for my body to produce more platelets b/c I donate about every two weeks and it is anticipating the need?

A. First of all, a high platelet count is known as thrombocytosis. It can be caused by many different reasons such as an infection, inflammatory conditions such as arthritis and other conditions like chronic myelogenous leukemia, Hyposplenism, Hemorrhage and/or iron deficiency. Your platelet count is just out of the normal range of 150,000 and 450,000 per mm (or micro litre) and it's important to note that deviation does not necessary imply any form of disease, but I would recommend getting this checked with your doctor. To put it in laymens terms, high platelets create thicker blood. If you have too many platelets (750,000 or 1,000,000) you have a much higher risk of blood clotting conditions like Thrombosis. I would recommend getting… [cont.]

Q. My boyfriend has recently been diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) characterized by an abnormally high platelet count. This puts him at high risk of blood clots and strokes.

A. During pregnancy you have so much extra blood flowing through your body that a high (or low) count does not necessarily mean anything. With my last pregnancy, my GP was so concerned with the level my count was at that she called a specialist who told her not to worry about it and just test it again 6 weeks after birth. They did check it after birth and it was within normal range again. Don't worry unless the doctor says to.

High platelet count?
Q. I recently had a blood test which showed my platelet count as high. A 2nd recent test showed it had increased again to 730,000. I have been referred to a haematologist. What is the likliest explanation?
Asked by yorkshirecath2004 - Wed Dec 6 11:47:30 2006 - - 7 Answers - 1 Comments
A. There are two reasons: 1) Your bone marrow is producing more platelets than it should 2) Your spleen is not removing as many platelets as it should Either one could be the reason but only your haematologist will be able to tell you why your PLT count is so high. They will want to treat it so as to remove risk of unnecessary blood clotting as it is the platelets that stem bleeding when you have an injury. And the normal range for platelets is around 150 million and 450 million per ml of blood.

A. High red blood cell and platlete counts can be high for quite a few different reasons and since I do not know anything specific about your situation and can't say why but a high blood cell count is almost always indicative of an infection (white blood cells are the warriors of the immune system-if there is a threat then there are usually more of them). Good luck.

A. It means you have a higher clotting time. Your blood clots faster after an injury than normal. You may run a risk of blood clots, which usually only occur after trauma (surgery). Your MD might put you on a blood thinner, but the cause may also be a problem with your spleen. Natikinase will help (can be found at any health food store).
