A member asked:

Wbc, platelets, sed rate, crp all remain high and have since 2000. what could be causing this? what should the drs be checking for?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Abnormal Blood Study: Without knowing the numbers, it is hard to say. A 16 year history of leuko-- and thrombocytosis, combined with evidence of chronic inflammation, suggests SLE or some other autoimmune disorder. Platelets are usually low in SLE, though. This is a puzzler without further details. Suggest a thorough work up by a specialist in Hematology.
