Hi! I had a blood test at the end of my period and it showed slight decrease in hemoglobin(thats probably normal) and HIGH platelet count of 428 (in this lab report it states the limits of 150-400). Can this elevated platelet count be due to end of menstruation (everything there is trying to stop the bleeding)?
No it has nothing to do with menses...probably due to slight fall in hemoglobin leads to increased hemoglobin formation from bone marrow which also causes increased platelets a bit...nothing to worry about.it won't cause any problem.take good nutrition.great leafy vegetables.
