Phlebotomy, the process of drawing blood, typically does not increase platelet or white blood cell counts. In fact, it can temporarily decrease these counts due to the loss of blood volume. However, the body usually compensates by producing more cells over time, restoring levels to normal. For significant increases in platelets or white blood cells, medical interventions or treatments would be necessary.

This is because the leukaemic cells in the bone marrow take over at the expense of the cells which produce platelets (megakaryocytes). They also affect the production of red blood cells (erythrocytes) leading to anaemia.

The white blood count is not necessarily high.
