What Does A High White Blood Cell Count With Large Platelets Mean?
Since I was about 19 (I am 28 now) I have had high white blood cells counts without the presence of infection or sickness. I never followed up with it because I was never given a reason to be concerned (mia culpa). Recently though my new doctor has done 2 separate blood draws and again noticed the elevated white blood cell counts and on the second noticed large plaletes. I'm supposed to be seeing a hematologist soon but in the mean time I have been WebMding myself into a frenzy...any thoughts???

Hello,
High WBC count can be elevated in any inflammation cause. It can be elevated in the physiological cause as well as by some drugs. It is important to know how much WBC elevation is present.
So kindly attach your report so that I can check it. The large platelet is usually seen in case of pathology involving platelet destruction.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
