Hi.... the platelet range is 150,000-400,000.

My platelets initially were 1600 but a year later around 500 but recently went back up to 860. They are now back down to 550. The normal range is around 150 to 400 - I haven’t managed to get under 400 yet. I take the same dosages as you of Hydroxy and asprin.

In Australia is 150,000-450,000. So 690 is still h

High.

The top of the normal platelet range varies from lab to lab. The diagnostic level most commonly used is 450,000, which is the conventional cut-off for a diagnosis of thrombocytosis. Your doc may or may not target getting your platelet levels down to a "normal" level. Some believe in "sanitizing" the blood cell numbers. Others look at the symptom pattern (Hx of thrombosis/hemorrhage, TIAs, etc) and the co occurring risk factors (e.g. age, cardiac issues, hypertension, etc) and try to reduce the patient's risk on a case-by-case basis. For many under age 60, this means an aspirin-only protocol at levels under 1 million.

Hope that helps. All the best to you.
