Q: if crp is negative and rbc is normal but platelet count has raised from 452 to 466 in a week. is this a sign of primary thrombocytosis?

: Not necessarily. Iron deficiency is common in women and can raise platelet counts. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. You may take oral iron and multivitamin supplements and retest in 3-6 months.
