A member asked:
Is it possible for platelets to be elevated from anesthesia 2 weeks after surgery?
6 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Yes.: Your body has a natural and predictable stress response to surgery. It is normal for your platelet count to rise after surgery, peaking at about 14 days, and then returning to their previous level over another week or so.

No: Increased platelet count is a normal reaction following surgery. It is not related to anesthesia.

Yes: The stress response from surgery and anesthesia can temporarily raise your platelet count. This is a normal physiologic response and should not cause concern.
