Good evening. Thrombocytosis has several causes but in order to clarify your questions, I need to know what is your platelet count, your age, sex, if you are a smoker or not and If you have had any infections lately. You should not be alarmed just because of a slight abnormality in your platelet count. Please let me know more details about it.
