Secondary Or Reactive Thrombocytosis Posted: 01-31-06 14:32pm
I have a high platelet count and I figure
it is due to my splenectomy ....I am
however wondering how long before my count
normalizes.....See my spleen ruptured in
'99 by a car.....It was therefore
removed.....My platelets as I have read
should go back to normal after time...But
how much time....I just dont want
something else to be wrong and not know
due to the fact that I have had a
splenectomy....All of my bloodwork show an
average count on me to be 650,000
it has been as high as 776,000 and the
lowest has been 580,000
i have also compared my hemo count and my
iron levels were fine....I have been
anemic in the past and used to bleed a
lot...Unsure of what my platelet count was
before my accident though
my obgyn mentioned she was concerned and
will have my blood retested in six
wks......I already know the count will be
high...It always is
should I be concerned ???? Anyone else in
the same type situation???
