Question : question, I had blood work a month ago and my platelets came back a little elevated, 385. my doctor wanted me to have them repeated in a month, so I did and they are now 382. but my WBC count was now a little elevated being 11.8 but I did just get over a virus a week ago. do you think this is worrisome?... she wants everything repeated again in 1 month. -Thank you.
Brief Answer:
Your findings indicate mildly increased WBC count.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Your findings indicate mildly increased WBC count.It may be related to recent viral infection.It is not a serious finding.WBC count will become normal after some time.You are rightly suggested for repeat test after one month.
Your platelet count is within normal limit.Value above 450 need attention.Earlier also,platelet values were within normal limit.
Get well soon.

Even if it is mildly increased according to lab standards,it is not concerning.
