Is a high platelet count of 457 a cause for concern? i had a benign tumor removed 8 months ago, and the rest of my bloodwork came back normal. i am on no medication and have no known conditions?

Very slightly elevated. Generally of no concern

Increased platelet count can be an indication of iron deficiency which is common in women due to menstrual blood loss. Take oral iron and multivitamin supplements and may test in 6 months. Wish you good health!
