Raised platelets

[Nellies47]

Hi.

Just got blood results, is high platelets part of PBC.

I often have high red blood cells and hemocrit etc. interestingly enough, when I donate blood those values go back into the normal range for awhile. My liver doc says”it kinda makes sense”.

That is interesting that you donate blood. I dont think you can donate blood when you have pbc at least in the US.

I thought that aswell about donating blood, I was told not aloud 🤔

Here is the link to healthline about donating blood...People are not precluded from doing so based on having PBC. healthline.com/health-news/...

Hi.Thanks, my hb and hematocrit are high normal, it's just platelets 436

Interesting! My husband’s platelets are usually low, and his doc says that is normal with PBC. Such a strange disease to have...so variable!

Yes, thank you. Gp just rang to discuss same, probably not related to PBC
