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.
A platelet count is a diagnostic test that determines the number of platelets in the patient's blood. Platelets, which are also called thrombocytes, are small disk-shaped blood cells produced in the bone marrow and involved in the process of blood clotting.n abnormally low platelet level (thrombocytopenia) is a condition that may result from increased destruction of platelets, decreased production, or increased usage of platelets. In idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), platelets are destroyed at abnormally high rates.
