Is platelet 370 considered serious?

Platelet 370 is on the high side, and the severity needs to be judged in combination with the primary disease.
The normal value of platelets is (100~300)×10^9/l. Platelets 370×10^9/l is high, and the reasons for high platelets include physiological increase, reactive increase, compensatory increase and primary increase.
1. Physiological factors such as strenuous exercise, after a full meal and other physiological factors lead to an increase in platelets, which is a normal physiological phenomenon and has no obvious effect on the body.
2. Inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, acute rheumatic fever, tuberculosis and so on lead to platelet reactivity increase, usually mildly elevated, the risk of vascular embolism is not large, and platelets will fall to normal after actively controlling inflammation.
3. Platelet increase secondary to anemia and compensatory enhancement of bone marrow hematopoiesis, the degree of platelet elevation is also small, and generally has no significant effect on the body.
4. Primary thrombocythemia: it is a myeloproliferative disorder, which may have the risk of thrombosis and hemorrhage, and is more serious and requires attention.
Platelet count alone cannot accurately determine the cause, but also need to be combined with the characteristics of the medical history, other test results to make an accurate judgment, it is recommended to clarify the cause of the disease under the guidance of a doctor to determine the degree of severity.
