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.
What is thrombocytopenia (low platelet count)? Platelets (thrombocytes) are important elements in the blood that are important for blood coagulation (clotting and prevention of bleeding). Thrombocytopenia refers to having low platelet count in the blood compared to the normal range. The normal platelet count ranges between 150,000 and 450,000 per microliter (one-millionth of a liter).
