I was diagnosed in 2014 October... Looks like i was PV before 2008, I wonder why they didn't investigate. I know the range is 0.4 - 0.54, but there was some issue in 2008..

The Haematocrit 0.585 in 2013 they ignored even when the results were as below..

I now get a venesection if I am above 0.45..

Very interesting you can access your numbers, I would like to do the same, which part of the country are you?

[shiftzz in reply to Eoin]

Leicestershire, but only my GP does this, my partner at a different surgery, no data..

[Eoin in reply to shiftzz]

Thanks. I'll speak to my GP they're not keen giving me numbers at clinic. I'm in Scotland

[EleanorPV in reply to Eoin]

In Scotland, it’s up to the practice manager, which online system they go with, if any. I’m in Scotland and each time I get my blood results I have to explain why I get them printed. It’s a pain but one I’m determined to continue with.

Hi really interesting. Wonder if we can all access our records. It would be interesting to see if there’s a gap for all of us between high bloods counts and eventually being diagnosed. Kind regards Aime xx😺😺

I was shown a graph of my platelet levels for the last 4 years of blood tests I have had done for various reasons. ALL the results showed raised platelets and it was only my gastroenterologist who spotted it a few months ago and referred me. Shows that tests aren’t really scrutinised which seems such a waste.

My platelets were high for 10 years before I was informed.

This interesting. My platelets were high since 2003 but only just been diagnosed with a very thorough GP. Think I will take a look at my records online. Thank you x
