A member asked:

What does elevate high platelets mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It depends: There is a wide range over which platelet counts can go before raising any concerns. Normally they range between 150, 000 to 400,000. if your count is over 450,000, get it rechecked . If the count rises above 500,000, you should get yourself checked by a hematologist(blood cancer specialiist
