A high WBC should be thoroughly investigated especially when it has been determined that you haven't got any signs of infection. In regard to platelets the higher the count within the range the better, a low count indicates potential problems with clotting. It is imperative that you find out the cause of your increased WBC count, don't wait ...
JAK2 Mutation, Low Iron and High Platelet count. I was being treated for low iron - was sent to a Oncology Hematologist- had Iron Infusions - gradually the iron values increased. Only received an infusion two times. The doctor is seeing me every 6 months, Platelets are increasing and I was told I was born with the JAK 2 Mutation apparently ...
Hi again, To add to my post from 3/1 and address the concerns you posted today, there are 3 significant concerns for those with elevated platelets: blood clots, stroke and heart attack. Like your son, I am being monitored and taking 1 81mg aspirin daily. This is a great place to be, all things considered.
Your higher platelet count isn’t anything extreme. It’s still under the upper ‘normal’ limit for platelets. There are a number of factors which can temporarily raise your level. Inflammation or infection being two of them. Inflammation is often the cause of pain and since you mentioned your chronic knee, pelvic and back pain, that is a ...
Dad (who also had ET) was on both meds, but only because a) his platelets were over 1,000 and b) hydroxy alone wasn't reducing them enough. He eventually was on only hydroxy. There are other factors that affect stroke risk, such as your age, the mutation that's causing the ET, and whether you have ever had a clot before.
Good morning @toepeekun. Mild to moderately elevated platelet counts are commonly seen when chronic inflammation is present. In other cases a high platelet count can signal a more serious blood problem known as a myeloproliferative disorder. It sounds like you’re familiar with this.
I have a 1.4 Million platelet count and take 325 msg of aspirin daily for 3 years to thin the platelets. I am considering Hydroxyurea to kill off the cells and JAK2 genes that produce platelets. The Moderna vaccine jacked up my platelet count from 1.2 million to over 1.4 million. I hope this helps you. Good day to all..
I began a battle with high platelet count about 5 years ago. My platelets from Essential Thrombocythemia were over 1.0 million without any drugs until my first 2 doses of the Moderna SARS2 vaccine and spike proteins in early 2021. The vaccine caused my platelet count to exceed 1.5 million and I noticed pressure in my brain.
I was diagnosed with Essential Thrombocythemia in December 2022. My platelets have been kept under control with 500 mgs of Hydroxyurea 3 x a week. A recent blood test shows abnormally high B12 levels. Anything over 900 is concerned high. My level is 7,500. This level scares me.
Elevated platelets and enlarged spleen. Hello all. I recently had some blood work and it was confirmed that my platelets were up from 300, 485, 519 to now 689. My oncologist ordered a CT scan of abdomen and pelvis and it came back that my spleen was 13.6 cm which it double the normal size. All my other bloodwork is normal.
