Platelets are too high: What can be done to find root cause?
Blood Cancers & Disorders | Last Active: Jul 10 1:35pm | Replies (50)Comment receiving replies
After being started on 500mg daily of Hydroxyurea for the last one month, my platelets have dropped from 848 to 466. However, this has also reduced my White blood cells (WCC) from 7 in March to 3.4 in July plus a further reduction in my kidney function from 47 to 41.
Anyone here having experienced this kind of reductions when they first started using hydroxyurea?

My results were not that quickly. My other blood test have been pretty much ok. Right now I am on 3 a week and platelets are not budging very much. I have had 2 bone marrow biopsies and didn’t show anything. It has been frustrating not having a definitive cause of my high platelets.
