A member asked:

Why would platelet count be just slightly above normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Relax : "Normal" isn't what labs are about. Reference ranges are set deliberately so that a few percent of healthies fall outside on either side. Don't pay any attention as long as you feel well.
