All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, iron deficiency is a common cause of elevated platelet counts and it is common in young women. Take oral iron and multivitamins and retest in 3-6 months. Wish you good health!

Hello, I recently had a blood test done and the results showed low ferritin level but my iron levels were normal. I consume a diet high in vegetables, lentils and beans. My platelets count was 260 in the recent blood work but last year it was 266?
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?
