A member asked:

Recently, i had some blood work done and it came back stating that i had high platelets. is this dangerous?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Usually not: Platelets out of the high end of the reference range are common especially in folks that are a bit iron-deficient. This is a little-known fact that may be a tip-off to preserve your health. When you're up around 700, 000, or if there are other anomalies that are suggestive, this may be essential thrombocythemia which is usually easy to manage nowadays.
