Labs: These results must be interpreted by your doctor in the context of your illness. By themselves they do not necessarily have any specific meaning. The elevated platelet count may need further assessment. Go talk to your doctor.

Not much-: An important thing to remember is that lab results are not useful unless there is a clinical context. Advice is based on focusing on the patient, not the numbers. Though you mention a history of undiff mixed connective tissue disease, where there symptoms when labs were drawn? Why were they drawn in the first place? Otherwise , it is best to ask your doctor what the results mean.
