Normal platelet count is between (100 and 300) x 10^9/L. Elevated platelet count up to 600×10^9/L is abnormal phenomenon, and it is considered to be related to primary thrombocythemia, true erythrocytosis, etc., which can be treated with medication or surgery as prescribed by the doctor.
1. Primary thrombocythemia: Usually, patients can use aspirin, clopidogrel, anagrelide and other antiplatelet drugs in small doses, and hydroxyurea and interferon can also be used to reduce platelet count.
2. True erythrocytosis: patients with true erythrocytosis can cooperate with the doctor to bleed 200-400ml every 2-3 days until the hematocrit is less than 0.45. In order to prevent thrombosis, small-dose aspirin can be taken orally. For some patients, hydroxyurea and interferon can also be used for cytotoxic treatment as prescribed by the doctor.
It is recommended that patients with platelet elevation up to 600×10^9/L should undergo further detailed examination to clarify the cause of the disease and then follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment, and should not use drugs indiscriminately on their own.
