Hi, I have a PLT count of 518, which is an
increase from 425 in January. What does
this mean? How concerned should I be? I've
been taking vitamins bc I am trying to
reduce my cholestorol, can folic acid be
the reason my PLT score has increased so
much?

Have you been diagnosed with colon
cancer?
Your PLT count of 518 means that your're
having trombocitosis (normal level is
150-400) and there are some conditions
that cause this such as diseases that
affect the bone marrow,injury,massive
bleeding, surgery, chronic inflammatory
diseases(arthritis etc.), cancer, deficit
of iron, recent infections, medicines
(vinkristin, adrenalin, cytostatics) and i
really don't believethat folic acid is
causing it.
I'll suggest you to see your doctor
Best wishes
