Welcome to Connect @normgonz13. It can be upsetting to see numbers flagged for being either high or low when you’re looking at blood results and not understand what they mean. However, as members in the forum we’re not able to interpret test results or diagnosis medical issues. Your physician would be the be best person to provide you with the answers.

It sounds as though your son has been referred to a specialist? What has his primary care doctor said about his blood work? Did they do the referral?
If your son isn’t feeling well and you’re concerned for his health, personally, I’d be looking for another doctor to help me find answers sooner.

Looking at your son’s test results with his platelet level being high, has he had a recent illness? What type of symptoms was he having that lead to him needing a blood panel taken?
