Hello. Thank you for your message.

I can give you some general information. Platelets are small, oval/spherical component of the blood that doesn't have its own nucleus. These small fragments are produced in the bone marrow and play a very important part in blood clotting.  Normal levels of platelets in the blood are about 150-450×109 / L of blood.   Thrombocytosis is the medical term used to describe the display of elevated platelet count. The higher end of the normal platelet count range may vary from lab to lab but is typically around 350 to 450 × 109 / L.
