Probably not IDA: High platelet counts are seen with inflammatory states, iron deficiency, bleeding, and as a primary blood disorder. Usually, with iron deficiency the hemoglobin will be low before the platelet count is high. Normal Hgb, high WBC and high platelets suggests a blood disorder (myeloproliferative neoplasia), but that is not always the case. Persistently abnormal CBC needs a hematologist to evaluate.
