What can cause your platelet count to be elevated?
Q. My doctors nurse contacted me and advised me that my platelet count is elevated and that I need to stop taking asprine. I do not take asprine, so I don't know what she is talking about.

A. the best thing to do is to make an appointment with her and ask her about it. there are so many causes of an elevated platelet count, that all I would be giving you is an exhaustive list without any indication as to which one it is likely to be because you havent exactly loaded the question with information; signs, symptoms, why you had the blood test in the first place!! go back and speak to her about it. as for the aspirin, it is not directly the aspirin that is causing the abnormality, but aspirin works agains platelets to thin the blood. I have no idea why she thinks your on aspirin when your not. in any case you should stay off it because, there is a possibility that your platelets are not working as they should and by taking aspirin… [cont.]

How high is too high for platelet count?
Q. I have a platelet count of 560 and was wondering what is too high? It has been rising slowly over the last year from around 200, my dr wants to do another blood test in 3 months, is that too long to wait?
Asked by justwondering007 - Thu Mar 8 01:12:09 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. A normal platelet count in a healthy person is between 150,000 and 400,000 per mm of blood (150 400 x 109/L). 95% of healthy people will have platelet counts in this range. Some will have statistically abnormal platelet counts while having no abnormality, although the likelihood increases if the platelet count is either very low or very high. Some further reading on high platelets is on:-

A. You don't mention how much the count is elevated, or if your son has any apparent symptoms. Its not unusual for an individual to have some blood parameter fall outside the norms, so if the RBC count is slightly elevated - there may be nothing wrong. So, I would assume that nothing is wrong unless there are some signs that your son has some sort of problem caused by the elevated RBCs. I have been very healthy my whole life and there several parameters in my blood counts that are always outside the norms - apparently, those norms are not normal for everyone.

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.

A. 150-400 (150,000-400,000) If for any reason your blood platelet count falls below normal, this is called thrombocytopenia. It often occurs as a result of a separate disorder, such as leukemia or an immune system malfunction, or as a medication side effect. Complications may range from none to severe bleeding. If u have too many it can cause clots to form when you don't need them (thrombosis).

A. Is anything else with the blood count off? Going from 166 to 149 over a year is not a significant drop. Many labs use a normal value at the lower end to be 150. Unless you have other abnormalities, I would ask your doctor about it, but I problably wouldn't lose any sleep over it. Keep in mind that for a lab to determine a "normal" range, they take a group of "normal" persons and take the middle 95% as the normal range. So by definition, normal will have some outliers at the fringe of the range. You sound like YOUR normal is at the lower end of that range.

Normally, you have anywhere from 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per microliter of circulating blood.

A. platelets stop blood from rushing out of the body when you get cut necrophilia is a white blood cell which means that she is having high platelets but low white cells which aren't good if she doesn't get the right amount she could end up having a very high risk for a infection [if cut] and ora disease because the white blood cells won't be able ti fight of the invaders to the body but if she gets cut she has a low risk of bleeding to death[ hemophilia] so i would recommend blood transfusion to get the balance or the lesion might be messing with her immune system causing her lack to create the white cells and more of the platelets so remedy find out what the lesion is and fix it from there or bloodtrasnfusion but i have a very good felling… [cont.]

Q. The rest of my 32 year old sisters results were normal . She went to the doctor because of recurring stomach problems and a new pain at the bottom of her right side rib cage . cat scan showed all organs to be fine , but did locate a "lesion" in upper right leg . She doesn't seem to have any other symptoms and we don't seem to be getting many answers. We are awaiting insurance approval for a MRI to determine what the lesion in her leg is. Any thoughts ?

A. A low platelet and low white count together (involvement of 2 cell lines) could mean either an infection or a serious blood disorder such as leukemia. Consult your doctor immediately.

My platelet count is low, how can I get it back up?
Q. Hi, I was at the blood bank today and they took ages to get it done, because apparently my platelet count was low. Is there a way to increase my platelet count so that it is easier next time?
