Falling Haemoglobin and high Platelet

[Abhishek_India]

My father was diagnosed with CKD 2 years back. His blood metrics have starting showing signs of deterioration with haemoglobin at 8.9 and high platelets. The report also says "giant platelets seen" - is anyone aware of what the giant platelet mean and is it a cause of worry? Please advise

Hello Abhishek - I hope you will contact your father’s care team to ask this question as it’s medical and individual to your dad. I wish you well and hope what you learn helps!
