Fluctuate: You are making new platelets every 10-12 days so any given day, your platelet count may be different. Hope this helps.

I get blood work done every few months and have had slowly rising platelet levels for over 3 years. I didn't even notice until this last test showed a 419 level. It's been in the high 300's for the last 3 years but this is the first time out of range?
