High blood palette

[Paulina18]

My blood test has just come back with raised blood palette at 435 . Really worried.

GP getting back to me hopefully tomorrow

anyone have these issues

I wonder if you mean platelet, OP. ?

Yes I did mean platelet

My blood platelet has just come back 435
im quite worried .
Has anyone had this issue ?

It's quite likely not an issue at all. It does need interpreting in the context of the rest of your bloods, any trends in results, medical history and the reason the test was done though - the GP should be able to interpret it properly.

The rest of my full blood count was fine

it was tested as I’ve had an infection which doesn’t seem to have properly gone with antibiotics ?
uTI initially . That’s the reason for blood test

Sadly I worry terribly plus terrible anxiety in these situations

I would like to hear from anyone that has similar issue

It's barely raised at all (in fact in quite a lot of labs it wouldn't be counted as raised). One of the commonest causes of a mildly raised platelet count would be an infection. Individual blood results are pretty useless on their own - that's why the context is everything and the GP is the best person to interpret it.

It sounds normal to me, as you've had an infection.

Thankyou for your reply’s
it’s helped me a lot

it just frightened me when it read borderline , on checking by a GP and he has sent a message to my GP . Now awaiting for her to contact me hopefully tomorrow .
