A member asked:
Help docs! i'm trying to find out what causes a high platelet count and anemia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Iron deficiency: Among the common anemias, this is the one that is likely to produce a moderate elevation in total platelets. If you are iron deficient, look for an underlying cause. It can be anything from a non-supplementing vegetarian diet to blood loss each month to blood loss from a hidden serious illness in the gut or elsewhere.
