I'm working as a receptionist at a clinic, and I came across a report where a 38-year-old lady had her platelet counts highlighted as high. The normal range listed was 1.5 to 4.5 lakhs, but I'm a bit unsure about what count is actually considered too high. Could you explain what qualifies as a high platelet count?

Yes, the normal platelet count range is typically between 1.5 to 4.5 lakhs per microliter of blood. A count above 4.5 lakhs would be considered high, and it can indicate conditions like inflammation, infection, or certain medical disorders. It's important to investigate further to understand the cause.
