Probably not: Every lab differs but that number sounds low to me, not high. And that would be much more consistent with your age. You need to get that clarified either with the provide who ordered that test or with another physician if there is one you have confidence in

Spoke with doctor today regarding my blood results. She said she will refer me to heamotology. She said my platelets are higher again at 535. Haemoglobin low at 105. Iron borderline low. Mcv low. Platelets been high for 1 year. What could be wrong?
Platelets were 485 last month and now they are 535. Keep increasing. They have been high and increasing for around 1 year. Doctor thinks its from my periods as on lower end of iron but not anemic. Long heavy periods. How high before I develop clots?
My doctor told me my iron was very low and told me to take supplements. After a year my iron is still low and I do not have any more energy. ?
My sister, who is 25 years old, sleeps way to much. (about 14 hrs a day if given the opp) always complaining she is tired- etc. She has been checked for mono, low iron, blood sugar, has a history of a thyroid disorder, but last time she went to the doctor
My son's doctor said he was anemic and prescribed him 4ml of liquid iron, which equals him ingesting 60mg. He said his hemoglobin was at an 8, but did not give me a paper printout. I was told 60mg of iron can cause poisoning. He is 9months old?
