What can cause high platelets and low calcium in labs?

Context = everything: Let's consider: how "high" are your platelets, and how "low" is your calcium? Teeny differences are usually considered OK. If your doc is worried about the calcium, s/he may want to get an "ionized calcium" (more diagnostic). Regular calcium is usually bound to serum protein, so by itself is not meaningful. Re: platelets, same deal. What was rest of CBC? May want blood smear to see platelet shape

High platelets can be a "stress" reaction to illness/infection, or a bone marrow prob. Low calcium can b from vitamin D deficiency or low sun exposure (Nordic genes). The most common cause is lab error. TTYD to clarify the results
