A member asked:
I consistently have elevated platelets.can i keep eating vegetables high in vitamin k such as spinach, kale, etc.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hematologist: Please see a blood doctor ( hematologist) to look at your platelets. Often it is from stress or weight gain, but be sure. Platelets do not usually get effected by iron ( kale, spinach) etc- that is anemia.
