Patient's question:
My baby is four months old, and they had a blood platelet count test at the hospital which showed high platelet levels. What should I do about high platelet count?Doctor's answer:
These indicators are normal. The platelet count for children is 450,000 (you said 4.5 million should be 4,500 multiplied by 10, 10 times per liter, then it must be a problem) – is that too extreme? Are the white blood cells and hemoglobin normal? If they are normal, you can wait and see for a while. I don’t see any severe diseases. Thrombocytosis often requires ruling out the following conditions: first, primary thrombocythemia; second, secondary thrombocytosis. It is recommended to follow the doctor’s advice for treatment.
