A member asked:
What is the long-term effect of having thrombocytosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually none: The high platelet count that often accompanies iron deficiency is probably harmless. Even the high platelet count in essential thrombocythemia often causes no troubles; your physicain will advise you about managing risk, and often the best treatment is "nothing". I'm glad you asked as this generates much worry. Best wishes.
