Hi , first of all this is my first ever post and I am so glad that I found this forum. I have a 6 year old boy who was diognaised as Thal Intermedia by doctors here in Dubai last year . His electrophoresis test result came as
HB A 70.3
HB F 20.9
HBA2 8.8
Hemoglobin stays around 8 to 8.8 and drops till 7 when he gets sick or has infection
Yesterday I just did his routine blood test from a private clinic just for peace of mind his hemoglobin came as 8.5 but his blood platelet was 810 * range was 150-550 * , in his previous last year reports I have seen this his blood platelet fluctuated from 350 to 570 and then again to 258 but this time its very high, now I m really worried about it so I booked an appointment right away with his doctor which is after 10 days but meanwhile someone from the forums tell me wether its normal to have a raised platelet count or something to.worry about
Thankyou for welcoming me
