A high platelet count is 400,000 or above. A higher-than-normal number of platelets is called thrombocytosis. It means your body is making too many platelets. Causes may include: 1  A type of anemia in which red blood cells in the blood are destroyed earlier than normal (hemolytic anemia). 2  Anemia due to low iron.
Platelet count is the number of platelets in the blood. A normal platelet count ranges from 150,000 to 350,000. If the number of platelets is too low, excessive bleeding can occur. The medical name for a low platelet count is thrombocytopenia (throm-bo-sigh-toe-PEE-nee-uh). Some things can affect how well the bone marrow can produce platelets. When not enough platelets are made, the platelet count in your blood is too low. Chemotherapy and some radiation therapy can cause this temporarily. These cancer treatments can slow the production of platelets in the bone marrow. Another cause of a low platelet count is cancer of the bone marrow.
