Is my blood test report normal? My platelet count has been high in some tests and low in the last three values. My ESR is 8. Please explain whether this is normal or a cause for concern.

Mild platelet variation is common. ESR 8 is within normal limits. Monitor with periodic CBC and ESR to check trends. Please take the test regularly.

My mother has started developing patches on her skin since the last couple of days, and they are increasing day by day with itching. Yesterday we did a blood report which shows WBC 11,800 and platelets 486,000. Please suggest?

Hi, my son has been suffering from ITP with low platelet count for the last four years. He is currently 13 years old. He was given MABTAS in 2015, which improved his platelet count, but the problem has resurfaced one month ago?
