A member asked:

My platelets were elevated since i undergone latent tb treatment for 9months. until now platelets still high, hepatitis b c was negative, ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Several possible: Reasons vary. Sometimes thrombocytosis is simply an indication of an active bone marrow for other reasons. You do not say how high they are, but if you are not having clotting abnormalities this may well be quite benign. If it continues of concern, see a hematologist. You may need a bone marrow biopsy/aspirate. Good luck.
