High Platelet Count Posted: 01-21-04 06:27am
What would make mine 534 count? I've
been trying to research the internet for
information, but i'm not quite sure if i'm
asking the right questions! I have alot
of different kinds of cancer through out
my family. On both sides. (moms- dads).
Also, history of migranes,also, heavy in
my family. Heart problems, also both
sides (again). I also checked some of the
symptoms, online, I could have a couple of
them, but i'm not sure. Thanx, jeanette

Please See a Doctor!! Posted: 04-19-05 04:23am
Having a platelet count of 534 puts you at
risk of having blood clots. You could
also be at risk for bleeding because your
platelets may not clot correctly. This
could be due to any number of things
including malignancy, as you mentioned, or
something as simple as arthritis. Have
you had any injury to your spleen recently
(like a car accident)? Please go see
your doctor for treatment. Normal
platelet counts are between 150-450, so
you're not exceedingly high. I've seen
people up to 1,000. Anyhow, if you are
concerned you should see a doctor to
alleviate any fears. I hope this helps
you.
