A member asked:

Should i be concerned about cancer with having a high platelet count of 816, 000? i also have iron deficency anemia. i can't stop worrying.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Recheck it: Iron deficiency could be the cause but it is important to follow up on it. Please recheck it after correction of iron deficiency. Then get a CBC and see what changes have taken place. Also watch WBC count. If the platelet count persists above 500, 000 then you need to see a hematologist for further evaluation.
