A member asked:
What causes someone platelets to rise to a million?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Things like infection can cause increases in platelet count, but rarely to a level close to 1 million. The differential becomes blood/genetic disorders that can lead to high platelet production, notably essential thrombocytosis or polycythemia vera. Discuss with your doctor to get a referral to a hematologist.
