A member asked:
I have a platelet count of 583, wbc is 3.9, rbc 4.54, hgb 10.7. my iron is 24. can the low iron cause my platelets to be that high?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Iron deficiency for some reason often shoots platelets up. This is high but i've seen it before as a result of iron deficiency. It's most important that you find out why you are iron deficient and address the underlying cause.
