Steroids inhibit the enzyme phospholipase a2 which is known to degrade platelet activating factor. So the degrading enzyme is inhibited and more PAF is allowed to be in the serum.

How does the platlet count increase?

Platelet count can increase due to various physiological and pathological conditions. Physiologically, it may rise in response to stress, exercise, or injury as the body activates the bone marrow to produce more platelets. Pathologically, conditions such as infections, inflammation, or certain cancers can stimulate the production of platelets. Additionally, the removal of the spleen (splenectomy) can lead to an elevated platelet count, as the spleen plays a role in regulating platelet levels.
