A member asked:
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?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Your modest increase of platelet count is probably related to low iron level. Unless you have hyper coagulable conditions, e.g., deficiency of Protein C and S, presence of factor V Leiden or antiphospholipid antibody, platelets count less than 1 million/mL alone is unlikely to cause clots (arterial or venous thrombosis).

Platelets cut off in UK is 400. Mines were 464 last month. Now they are 560 ish. So big increase. Dr said will speak to heamotology as been increasing for around a year. Can pcos& heavy periods be the cause? Chances it will cause blood clot & kill me?
2 periods in one month, doc said to take blood test for clotting, iron (often deficient) and vitamin d. Could these be the causes of this?
Platelets should be 150-400. Last month mine were 463. Yesterday they were 560ish. Have been high for around 1 year. Suffer long heavy periods at times. Had a 6 month daily period. Stopped 2 days ago. When to worry high platelets cause blood clots?
