A member asked:

Do hi platelets always mean bleeding? if there is no external signs it must be enternal right? they have been raising over the past year. now 600

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Platelets are involved in the clotting mechanism. When the platelets are destroy and drop to a low level it becomes difficult to stop bleeding because of the failure to form clots to stop the bleeding. Hi platelets do not reflect exiting bleeding or the tendency to developing clotting problems
