A member asked:
Why might someone have a high platelet count?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
High platelet count: There are many causes for a high platelet count. Many times it is reactive--in response to another medical issue like an infection or having no spleen but there are many other causes. It can also be a problem with the bone marrow function. The cause should be evaluated by a physician.

I get blood work done every few months and have had slowly rising platelet levels for over 3 years. I didn't even notice until this last test showed a 419 level. It's been in the high 300's for the last 3 years but this is the first time out of range?
