Hello It is not uncommon after surgery to have a rise in your platlets count as it is a repsonse by your bone marrow to restore any blood lost during surgery. Also, in regards to stress, the body can increase the production of blood products. However, having said that, (and not knowing your numbers), you should call your surgeon who did the operation and ask for this information in more detail. Sometimes, rises in platelets can herald an infection or other blood borne illnesses. Only your immediate practitioner can truly answer that for you by looking at your complete blood profile.These may have been bloodwork already done in the hospital. This is truly important to find out! I do prompt you to do this soon. He or she is professionally and ethically bound to contact you with this information.

Does splenectomy cause a high platelet count?
Yes, My platelet count was 421 thousand before my splenectomy. One week after removal it was at 2.1 million. Two weeks after my platelet count was at 2.4. My doctors are hoping that it will come down on it's own, but as it looks right now I will have to be on medication to reduce my platelet count. They are expecting it to always be at an elevated level, but they did not expect such high numbers.
