My platelet count is in the 700,000 range. My doctor can t seem to find the reason for it as it keeps going up with every blood test. I would like to know what I can do to bring it down My doctor doesn t advise me to donate blood as it wouldn t solve my problem.
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your platelets count is 7 lakh/ CCMM. It is slightly high. It can be due to reactive thrombocytes or essential thrombocytopenia. If it remains persistent high or if it increased further then you need further investigation like bone marrow examination and JAK 2 mutation study to rule out essential thrombocytopenia. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you very good health.
