A member asked:
Help please! is an elevated blood platelet count over many years a reason for concern?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: How elevated and underlying cause. If it is more than 1 million, it can cause thrombotic complications. If it is caused by a hematologic disorder, you have a higher chance of complication.
