A member asked:

Got routine bloodwork. platelet count was flagged at a count of 429. is this normal? high? should i be concerned?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not much: It is likely that you are iron deficient. For an unknown reason iron deficiency is associated with high platelet counts. Even if your hemoglobin is normal, you may wish to take oral iron supplement available over the counter.
