<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Dear Listmates, I got bloodwork back from a routine screening for CBC etc and the results show that platelets are elevated. One of my med texts says this can be a result of chronic inflammation conditions and lists sprue as a possible cause. Has anyone run into this before? I haven't gotten hold of the specialist yet to discuss this result but my GP was talking about this being a risk for stroke and heart problems. He thought it might have to do with diet but my text doesn't mention this. Thanks, Lissy
