Also reported in: ×10⁹/L.

Critical (Panic) Values

Critical Low: < 50 ×10³/µL. Critical High: > 1000 ×10³/µL. Values outside these limits require immediate clinical attention.

Common Causes of High PLT

Reactive thrombocytosis — after infection, inflammation, or surgery (most common)Iron deficiency anemiaPost-splenectomy
