A member asked:
Blood donation 2 weeks later my platelets were high at 448. (cut off at 397) at time of donation they were 358. normal. all ther labs in cbc, cmp, tibc- normal except for iron saturation dropped to 15. is it normal for platelets to rise after?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Iron deficiency is associated with elevated platelet counts. The act of donating blood probably tipped your iron stores to the low side and that can explain both elevated platelet count of low iron saturation. You may take oral iron and multivitamin supplements to address the issue. I commend you for donating blood!
