High platelets means a condition in which the blood contains more platelets than normal. Platelets are small blood cell fragments that assist in blood clotting. In a healthy person, there are usually 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per microliter of blood. A high platelet count can be identified through routine blood tests.

Aspirin works by blocking an enzyme called cyclooxygenase, which is needed for the production of certain chemicals that promote platelet aggregation. By inhibiting this enzyme, aspirin helps prevent platelets from sticking together and forming blood clots.
What medications affect platelet aggregation tests?
drugs that can decrease platelet aggregation include aspirin, some antibiotics, beta blockers, dextran (Macrodex), alcohol, heparin (Lipo-Hepin), nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), tricyclic antidepressants, and warfarin
What opposes the action of thromboxane A2?
Prostacyclin (PGI2) opposes the action of thromboxane A2. They are both derived from arachidonic acid and have opposite effects on platelet aggregation and blood clot formation. Prostacyclin acts as a vasodilator and inhibits platelet aggregation, counteracting the pro-thrombotic effects of thromboxane A2.
What is the medical term meaning process in which platelets stick together?
Platelet aggregation is the medical term for the process in which platelets stick together.
