A member asked:

Cbc came back with high platelets (610, 000) how concerning is this? dr wants to retest in month. is that ok? other results from cbc were normal.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: There are several reasons that platelets may be high. Iron deficiency, bleeding (even a heavy period), inflammation, and a myeloproliferativeve disorder are among the more common. It's probably worth confirming that the level is high with another blood count before further evaluating. No need for a whole month to go by before repeating.
