The danger of high platelets should be analyzed according to the specific situation. Generally, physiological elevation will not have much harm, while pathological elevation will have certain harm.
1. The common causes of platelet elevation include physiological elevation of platelets, physiological increase of platelets will occur after strenuous exercise or use of certain drugs, the increase is relatively mild, generally no obvious discomfort.
2. Pathologic elevation includes: primary thrombocythemia, true erythrocytosis and so on.
(1) Primary thrombocythemia, the abnormal platelet function will lead to bleeding, which will lead to enlargement of the spleen, and the increase in platelet count will lead to high blood viscosity and easy to form blood clots.
(2) True erythrocytosis, whose platelet count is increased, is characterized by an increase in all three peripheral blood systems, which leads to an increase in peripheral blood viscosity, which can easily lead to the formation of thrombus, and then lead to multi-site embolism, and there is also a risk of bleeding.
There are other reasons for high platelets, if there are high platelets, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time to identify the cause of the disease and treat the symptoms.
