Recently I had my blood drawn and saw my doctor for the results. There were two of the tests that I am not sure I understood her correctly as to the cause. My platelet count was 186 and she said this was abnormal. The other was my potassium count was 5.9 which she said was high. I was wondering what could cause these two tests to be abnormal and what I can do about them? Thank you.
Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. First of all your platelets count is absolutely normal. It's not decreased at all. So don't worry about that. Other is your potassium level which is slightly high.  You should take treatment for that because its level is very sensitive and need to be corrected as soon as possible. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then you can ask me. I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
