A member asked:
How long will platelet counts stay hi after a thymectomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unclear: If there were low before and they responded to thymectomy, they may stay at a normal level for ever. If the platelet count was normal before and is elevated after a thymectomy, that may be just a temporary postoperative effect.
