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?

Raised WBC and platelets suggest ongoing inflammation or infection. Skin rashes with itching may be due to allergies or dermatitis. Consult a dermatologist and consider allergy tests or skin biopsy if needed.

When you get a blood test what all does it check for?

Hi, my friend, a 30 year old female, has a platelet count of 126,000, with no signs of infection. Is this normal? Should she undergo any additional tests to identify the underlying cause, and if so, which tests are recommended?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Is it dangerous that I have only 175,000 platelets?
