A myITPcenter Subscriber

While ITP typically causes low platelet counts, some patients can experience rebound thrombocytosis (high platelets) after treatment. This usually happens temporarily after successful treatment with steroids, IVIG, or other medications. If your count is high, it's important to:
1. Contact your hematologist
2. Get regular monitoring
3. Keep track of your symptoms
While usually not dangerous, high platelets should be discussed with your doctor to ensure proper management. They'll likely adjust your treatment plan if needed.
