What Causes Fluctuating Platelet,MCV And MCH Levels?

Over the past year, my CBC results have shown elevated platelet, MCV and MCH levels. Platelet count varies from 442-485, MCV is 98.3 and MCH is 32.3. Occassionally, my WBC and GRAN will be high as well, but not consistently (this could be explained by a sinus infection I had at the time as well). My doctor says that he doesn't think further investigation is necessary, but after a year, I'm not so sure. I'm 37 years old, 4' 11" tall and weigh 115 lbs. What are the possible causes of fluctuating (but consistantly high) platelet, MCV and MCH levels?

Hi, dear. I have gone through your reports and question.
I can understand your concern. But your level is not much high and this kind of fluctuations is common. Wide range of results are there. Many other parameters are alsp responsible for variation. So if you don't have any symptoms then no any further investigation or treatment is required. Don't worry about that. Just be relaxed.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
