Hello, in my complete blood test report the WBC count is 11,500 and platelets are 5,02,000, both slightly on the higher side. The other values are normal. What could be the reason for these high values?

Mildly high counts may be due to infection, inflammation, or recovery from illness. If you are asymptomatic, monitor. Repeat CBC after 1 to 2 weeks.

Dr. Bhanu Suggests...

Take a COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT (CBC) Test or Take a C-REACTIVE PROTEIN (CRP) - QUANTITATIVE Test
