High platelets count?
Has anyone ever had a high platelet count? I saw the doctor last week for diabetes issue and they are going to send me for more testing but over the years it has always been high 470-480
Thanks

Re: High platelets count?
Do you have any infections or open sores that don’t heal?

470-480 is not super super high. It could be a sign of inflammation.
Mine were creeping up and my primary said not to worry about it until they were in the 600 range and I was sent to a hematologist. Mine are around 800 now and I had a lot of testing done and was diagnosed with Essential Thrombocytosis - my body produces too many platelets for reasons unknown (I have a gene mutation). Its not a big deal for me at the moment - I just need to take a baby aspirin daily to prevent clotting.
