Brief Answer:
This is a false conclusion!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this high platelet number reported. With smaller sizes, it is not surprising that many are packed into each value of blood and explains why they have been reported as higher than normal. Just make sure there is nothing we are missing out on, I will suggest that you upload the entire report so that I can look at other blood details and comment in a comprehensive and more in-depth manner.

Brief Answer:
This report is normal!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for the image. I have reviewed the entire report and this report is normal and there is nothing to worry about. This is a very subtle and isolated minor abnormal value. This needs no further evaluation at this time unless you have symptoms that have not been reported to me.

I wish you well. Keep cool and calm and don’t be alarmed by this
