What Does A Sudden Increase In Blood Platelet Count Indicate?

Question: Dear Sir ,
I have one doubt , my wife blood platelet ,it was before 4 months ago 170000, but now I again test for my wife now it is 239000.
So in this four month it is increases like that , so what may be cause suddenly increases in this rate .
I am afraid that if again after 4 month again increase like that then it will be one time to the maximum range value .
So can you clarify about that matter …
Thanks ,

Brief Answer:
The variation in platelets does not signify anything serious.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on HealthcareMagic.
The platelet count on both occasions is within normal biological interval.
The platelet count varies with reactive conditions in body.
The variation of this magnitude does not suggest anything serious.
In absence of any hematological abnormality, there is nothing to worry.
You may get platelet count repeated to seen the new values.
Thanks and take care
